Jack Carter, whose brash, caustic comedy made him a star in early television and helped him sustain a career of more than a half-century in TV, nightclubs, movies and on stage, died of respiratory failure at his Beverly Hills, California, home, a family spokesman said.

Wow here we have had in the space of a week three actors die in their 90’s, Jack Carter, Patrick Macnee and Christopher Lee. Pretty amazing and I always liked Jack Carter.

RIP
93 is the new 27.
