She appeared regularly on television, in such series as The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Rockford Files, Hawaii Five-O, Dynasty, Murder, She Wrote, Home Improvement, Seinfeld, Boy Meets World, Will & Grace, That '70s Show, 8 Simple Rules, ER, How I Met Your Mother and The Office.

Connie Sawyer is a 103 years old

 

you know someone is ancient when they are cast as "old woman" in 1984 and still knocking around!

 

 

 

I discovered her though don't steal my credit

 

Credit duly noted to both gentlemen for prior mentions of Connie Sawyer. Just thought she'd make for an interesting topic of her own.

Never heard of her.

Sag?

 

Do you mean she's the oldest member of Saga? It's nice to know someone that old is still going on coach holidays. I can fix the thread title for you if you'd like.

Actually, it's SAG - Screen Actors Guild - and yes, if you could correct the thread title to SAG instead of Sag, that would be great!

At her age, sag might be more appropriate.

I have heard of her but literally only through extensive Dead pooling research. All I ever found from my research was the odd bit part role.I think there are actresses past the 100 mark who are more notable (just about) such as Mary Carlisle Lupita Tovar and Patricia Morrison but even they are fairly obscure names.

BREAKING NEWS: A 14-year old boy claims to have discovered a woman who has already been in the public eye for over 60+ years.

 

What's next, you'll see some mysterious stones at Salisbury Plain and call it your discovery too?

I missed noting her birthday late last month but "Happy 103rd Birthday: Tuning In to the oldest still working Jewish actress - Connie Sawyer has no plans to retire. Why should she when she turns a remarkable 103 years old this month (November 27th) and still answers the fan mail she gets and the callbacks that still come for film, TV and commercial work."

If this is true, R.I.P to a great actress with a great career. I've only seen her in Dumb n Dumber and The Office (US). Also, because I think this forum knows my fetish for actresses from the 30s, 40s, etc, she was a gorgeous woman especially in her young years!
