The 100 Club

[Dr. Zorders 1,268]

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.

 

Er, I think he also had a fairly significant role as a teacher or headteacher in Dead Poets Society (never seen it).

 

I would have completely forgotten about that movie if Robin Williams hadn't decided to love angels instead earlier this year.

 

The other odd thing apart from the fact he already looked half-ready to drop on St. Elsewhere was that his character also had terminal cancer but decided to Carry on Doctoring Regardless just as eagerly as Al Gore and his "scientist" pals did after ClimateGate. So he's "supposed to have died years ago" in many different ways seemingly. I give him until 101 or maybe even 102, then he'll be as dead as serve-and-volleying.

The Chands of Bradford celebrated their 89th wedding anniversary yesterday!!! He is 109 and she is around 102.

She's "around 102" and she's been married 89 years!!

 

Are Operation Yewtree planning to run this pervert to ground, then?

A thread for people who have passed the age of 100 but have (very, very) faint claims to fame other than "just being old". The lifeblood of many a DDP theme team, really, may as well get them all in one place. Plus it gives me an excuse to have a regular meeting point for two of my favourites: 110-year-old paranormal investigator Alexander Imich and 107-year-old financier Irving Kahn, who apparently still goes to work daily. Check out his current stock portfolio here.

 

Anyway, so here's where we can rhapsodise about Run Run Shaw, Roy Douglas and Vo Nguyen Giap and the many public appearances they'll no doubt be making in the near future.

 

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

Irving Khan has finally sold all his shares at 109 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/investing/11437697/Irving-Kahn-the-worlds-oldest-investor-dies-at-109.html

[Guest Guest]
