Black singer and actor Herb Jeffries dies aged 100. Apparently he was the "only black cowboy" during the classic Hollywood era.

 

 

 

Looks like Stan Lee after 2 weeks in Magaluf.

One of the leading actors of the pre-blaxploitation era cowboy "race movies", Herb Jeffries, just turned 100.

 

He won't be turning 101 http://www.latimes.c...ory.html#page=1

[Guest Guest]

just noticed it was allready posted. sorry

[Spade_Cooley 9,018]

Interesting thing about Herb Jeffries ("interesting") is that in latter years he claimed that he wasn't actually black and just pretended to be in order to get a break in his career. He was Cajun or something iirc.

Nora Brier, looping the gliding loop at 100, and planning a trip in a racing car. Local newspaper headlines doubtless a certainty, along with archive photos of her centenarian stunts, when she goes. Deathrace fodder, then, thought I'd share the love with the group:

Er, American actor Norman Lloyd (who already looked fucking ancient when he played Dr. Auschlander on 80s hospital drama St. Elsewhere) turned 100 last month. Whoops, no-one spotted that.

 

He's appearing in a film next year and apparently still plays tennis twice a week.

I had him in my Deathrace team this year but have dropped him for next year.

 

Thanks for making me feel good about that decision.
