Why do we wait until someone passes before we celebrate their life?
 
Kirk and Stan, you have to wonder how Kubrick's career would have gone if KD didn't lobby aggressively for him to direct Spartacus.

Kirk said, and I quote, "get Kubrick he's a talented son of a bitch".

Because he will think that we are celebrating his life due to his imminent death, i.e. remind him that he's gonna bite the dust any day now.
 
Olivia DeHavilland turned 101 earlier this year too.
She was quite a babe back in the day

His son is in his 70s. They have the genes for longevity.

Wonder what one's quality of life is like at 100 though...
 
That's sad but Natalie Wood led a sad life. She was too dependent on her male partners for her happiness, James Dean death hit her hard. Her relationships with Warren Beatty, writer Richard Griegson and Robert Wagner weren't any better. She died at 43 under dubious circumstances.

These stupid award shows are all about hypocrisy. The moronic Natalie Portman even took a poke at the director's award. Wind River was completely ignored because it's a Weinstein Co film. Yet Native females endure more violence and death than the rest of the female population combined. It was an empty gesture and a complete disgrace.
