Not posting the pics, I say: Let him enjoy his retirement :/

[9YearLurker]

Maybe a double date could be arranged:

98. Wow

[BradyLS]

William Shatner just turned 93!

My Dear ol’ Mom had a saying in her dotage: “Old age is cruel.”
We, the younger whippersnapper generation found it humorous, and shortened it into a gag line: “O.A.I.C.” Yup, Mom; sure enough.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I agree. It is one thing if they are doing publicity or pushing something but just going about their daily business not bothering anyone?

Leave them be.

Otherwise you are being a bit creepy.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Robert Duvall is 93, wife is 51.

[crusty old prospector]

Pappadeaux’s in Santa Fe? Uw, wee. I hope Gene had the étouffée.

[ArtDodger]

Let him enjoy his sunset.

[RandFan]

I had no idea Dick Van Dyke turned 98 though. He’s relevant to my generation thanks to ‘Diagnosis Murder’ and that doesn’t seem that long ago!?

Incredible.

“ Let him enjoy his sunset.”
*************************

For sure. They both look good and healthy. Good for them.

That’s what I need, a much younger wife to ease me thru my twilight years and keep me out of a nursing home as I deteriorate into senility. Good for Gene. He was great in The French Connection.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Someone said something about 30 years ago and I thought, the seventies? No, the nineties. The MID nineties. And suddenly my back hurt.

[Ken H]

Eva Marie Saint turns 100 on July 4.

[FreeReign]

Sorry Gene Hackman. Robert Duvall’s wife for the win.

[jimwatx]

You must be gen X. Boomers knew him long before that in The Dick van Dyke Show.

[RandFan]

Yes. I did passively enjoy that show (Diagnosis Murder) and was vaguely aware of him.

That kind of longevity is rare!

[TexasFreeper2009]

even knowing who it is I can’t recognize him.

[D_Idaho]

The man is a national treasure. Thanks for the memories, Gene.

Speaking of Gene, a few years ago I was driving in Poughkeepsie and saw a sign that said “Welcome to Poughkeepsie” so without even thinking, I went around the block, parked near the sign, took off my shoe and sock and lifted my foot up and picked it with my fingers and took a photo. When I got home I posted it on this Gene Hackman Facebook fansite with the caption “Did you ever pick your feet in Poughkeepsie?” and I wrote “Why, yes I have” with the photo. LOL! Totally nuts, but that’s the nonsensical line he kept repeating in the French connection.
