How’d he make such great movies with such tiny feet?

I once saw him interviewed and he was asked about fighting in the Battle of the Bulge. He said,

“Oh, it was so loud! You couldn’t even read a newspaper for all the noise.”

What a happy man.

Heh! I can’t believe it took him this long to get a star. That’s a pity.

I am glad to see that Mel is so spry and still has it at his age. Gives all of us that are not far behind him hope.

Far too past due

He made America laugh, between his comedy, screen writing and non PC films.

Agreed. One of the nicer guys in Hollywood, too.
