Usually, you are surprised to learn how old a certain actor is when he dies - but I thought Brimley was 85 about 30 years ago.

He was 51 when he made Cocoon, four years younger than Brad Pitt is now. And Carroll OConnor was in his 40s when he started on All in the Family.

Ah, my singer friend will be singing at Brimley’s funeral if they can have one. They’ve been friends for many years.
Wilfred was a commie, btw.

Strolled by the 21 table about 10 years ago, and Wilford was having fun and nursing a drink. He was happy and flirting with the dealer. I’ll remember him that way.
