gcreptile 10,963 Posted April 18, 2016 The thread for the jewish-American comedian, producer and actor Mel Brooks. He turns 90 in June. He won pretty much everything there is to win in show business. There are no bad news about his health, but he must surely be a future candidate for the Death List. His wife Anne Bancroft died 10 years ago, and here he is in a 2015 Independent article looking really old: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/theatre-dance/mel-brooks-the-comic-genius-and-risk-taking-director-on-how-retirement-is-not-an-option-and-faking-a6759956.html He most recently recorded a political robocall for his great nephew running for office in New York state: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/mel-brooks-robocall-great-nephew-state-senate-race-article-1.2597166 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,513 Posted April 18, 2016 Thank you for not making this a poll of "who will go first, Brooks or Carl Reiner?" Brooks will die the moment he stops working, but that thankfully seems to be a good number of years away. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handrejka 1,903 Posted April 18, 2016 I wonder if he'll outlive Gene W1lder. (Creative spelling intentional) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 11,886 Posted April 19, 2016 Mel Brooks is a German Jew and Jews usually live more than 90 years so I think he will reach 98-99. On the other hand Gene Wilder is a Russian Jew and Russian Jews live more than German Jews so Brooks won't outlive Wilder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mad Hatter 1,092 Posted April 19, 2016 http://edition.cnn.com/2016/04/18/us/mel-brooks-fast-facts/index.html Found an interesting article on him. The article is not even a day old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JiroemonKimura 95 Posted April 21, 2016 Ranked #5 on the Italian version, ahead of Bhumibol and the supergeezers, so there must be something suspicious about his health that the Italians know about but we don't: http://dpseggi.altervista.org/DeathList/X2016.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kirk is Jew, Zsa Zsa is Jew, Herman Wouk is Jew, Stan Lee is Jew... Jews tend to become really old because of genetic factors (not all but many).

Ankou 17 Posted June 28, 2016 Too bad that his later films are much worse than his earlier ones. I still watch regularly The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Spaceballs... and Robin Hood - Men in Tights, which is definitely not one of his best, but I like it.

On the other hand Gene Wilder is a Russian Jew and Russian Jews live more than German Jews so Brooks won't outlive Wilder. I was wrong and I have to admit this theory about all Jews being immortal is a load of bullshit. But Sephardi Jews are really coriaceous! Jacque Fresco. Angel Wagenstein, Lawrence Ferlinghetti...
