RIP. Truly amazed. Another one I thought had been dead for years.

What I found shocking is that he was ONLY 85. This guy was old or playing an old character for most of my life and I'm not young. I thought that he was pushing a hundred, if not over.

LOL, In "China Syndrome" (1979) , he looked at least 60 years of age!

I don't know. Quaker Oats will make you look old and contribute to the average length life?

I've never tried it, but I'm getting the same results with aged striploin and 20 years old Scotch.

Those are my other staples. Maybe I am blaming the wrong culprit.

China Syndrome is one of my all time favourite movies. He was excellent in his role. RIP.
