Grim Reaper 186 Posted April 8, 2004 Like DWB I was also doing a bit of casual DeathList research and think Ive stumbled across an exciting new possibility. It appears that Al Lewis who played Grampa Munster in the 1960s TV series is still alive and coming up to his 94th brithday. I cannot find any news of his recent health or his death but I have found a site where you can book him for a personal appearance - Perhaps he should be the guest of honour at the DeathList Xmas party.

Guest Guest Posted April 8, 2004 He is indeed still alive, and not in the best of health: http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool200...s_L.html#lewisa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted April 8, 2004 seems we're doing quite well in the Derby Dead Pool. Tied for first, and one of the other people in first is only there because Alisdair Cooke, their joker pick (which counts double), passed on. But why was Queen Julianna, our number 20, not amongst the 20 entries? I do fear the Reaper might have made a slight tactical error, but all in all an excellent effort....

Grim Reaper 186 Posted April 8, 2004 Ronnie - Thre was some sort of method in my madness - I tried to add a couple of our younger selections into our team to pick up more points - eg that youngster Ian Brady Even so our team appears by far the oldest in the Dearby Dead Pool but with enough 4 point scores we should do ok.

Mr Stats 9 Posted April 12, 2004 GR Al Lewis was discussed at our meeting was deemed not famous enough Mr Stats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 6,099 Posted June 1, 2004 If you have sky tv, tune into the biography channel the next time the Munsters are featured. Al looks like his character now and Yvonne de Carlo does'nt look her age (80 I think) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Yeti 14 Posted June 1, 2004 Al Lewis was discussed at our meeting was deemed not famous enough I've heard of him. Damn you Eurocentrics - you'll have hoards of Americans complaining soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fritolei Posted June 11, 2004 Regardless of whether he is famous enough or not accross the pond, my choice for the trifecta is GRAMPA AL LEWIS!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EthiX969 Posted June 17, 2004 I think that Al Lewis from the munsters would be a good addition to the 2005 list hes 94 years of age at the moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherman90 7 Posted June 17, 2004 It is a shame that you didnt take the time to realize that there is already a post on Al Lewis and the Moderaters have already turned the idea down. [Topics now merged - DWB] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherman90 7 Posted January 3, 2005 I'm quite surprised that he made it to the list with the famous enough debate, haven't heard any recent news on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jimmy jimmy Posted April 2, 2005 I remember seeing a twilight zone/outer limits type program (in color) on tv a few years ago where Al Lewis played the part of a grandad who,even though he had just died, refused to accept he was dead and continued exsisting with his family until he started to decompose, until his grandson convinced him that his time was up....maybe this is what has actually happened to him in real life and he just won't die....or maybe I dreamt the tv show-has anybody ever seen it?

Guest Guest Posted May 16, 2005 Hello Al Lewis is born real 30. June 1908. No 30. April 1910. He is soon 97 year old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lospalmas7 12 Posted May 16, 2005 deadoraliveinfo.com says this: There is some substantial amount of debate as to the true year of birth for Al Lewis. Some sources say 1910, some say 1923. According to an interview with his family members, the 1910 date is a "story" and the real date is 1923. (If anyone has his birth certificate, send it along.) IMDb and Wikipedia both say he was born in 1910. I haven't seen 1908 mentioned anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gangrenous Sphyncter 0 Posted June 1, 2005 I hope he goes in style like a massive bloodbath in an old folks home with a chain gun only passing away as the shuddering of the said weapon shuddering him to death and the last facial expression on his face being a huge cheeky grin that he used to have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honez 79 Posted June 13, 2005 I hope he goes in style like a massive bloodbath in an old folks home with a chain gun only passing away as the shuddering of the said weapon shuddering him to death and the last facial expression on his face being a huge cheeky grin that he used to have Sorry to disappoint, but not many 90+ year olds tend to go out that way, GS. I may be wrong, so why don't you ask an actuary what the odds are? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sparky Posted June 13, 2005 I saw a 'Biography' program on A&E about him a while back. They discussed the differences in birthdates. Seems the 1923 date is correct. They even showed his birth cirtificate with that year. If it's true (and it certainly appears to be), he's got to be one of the only film/tv celebrities who lies about his age upward.

Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted June 13, 2005 he's got to be one of the only film/tv celebrities who lies about his age upward. I beg to differ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,630 Posted July 31, 2005 Since he's had a sizeable chunk of his body amputated do we get discount if we book him for a live appearance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
