There used to be a lot of jokes about it, like this Larson cartoon from 1991. There is an old Eminem and Dr. Dre song called Guilty Conscience, released in 1999, where he is referenced. Funny thing is he had already been dead for 3 years, but it was harder to look that up before the internet. "Look at the store clerk, she's older than George Burns".

Death Impends 7,789 Posted July 4 No pictures here, but she does tell People magazine her birthday plans. Quote “I’m looking forward to spending my 100th birthday in Los Angeles with my dear, dear family. Four generations of family members will be gathering together from Los Angeles, Chicago, Santa Barbara and San Francisco," Saint, whose Oscar win came in 1955 for her role in On the Waterfront alongside Marlon Brando, says. "I certainly don’t feel 100 years old," the actress adds of her daily life. "I continue to take walks out in the fresh air, like watching baseball — especially the Los Angeles Dodgers, and enjoy time with my family and friends. A good life.” 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
