Famous people in their 90s who are still alive

This gentleman will be 110 in February. Lives independently, drives his own car, does errands, no meds, no pain, fully active, up and down stairs doing his laundry. This alone should make him famous. Drink your ovatine I guess. I will bet $10,000 he makes it to 115.

Makes me ponder- if you had 115 years to live when would you choose to do it? Born year 1500, 1650, 1775, 1900, 1950 2000?

"I’m at that stage in life where I stay out of discussions. Even if you say 1+1=5, you’re right — have fun."

Keanu Reeves has the right idea

Who is the oldest man who ever ran a marathon under 2;15?

I think that British guy Fauja Singh who's a marathon runner is still alive.

He was trying to set 100+ WR but there was some discrepancy on his age. Officially he's 112 now. However who knows.

Also that list isn't quite up to date. My wife's grandmother turned 100 this year and isn't there and there was another in her nursing home who also turned 100.

Sorry in the link there was a list of living centurians not just famous ones.

Is that the ballot for scumbag of the century?

Leontyne Price (opera singer) is 96.

That's kind of what I was going for at first, but ended up either bad or controversial, so I called it controversial.

Notice no athletes. Many of these people have never seen the inside of a gym or worked out a lick in their lives. Henry Kissinger used to be (or, for all we know, is) a smoker who loves his gin.

According to another thread, Galen Rupp is in his 90s in how he dresses.

Jeanne Calment lived a wonderful life. She smoked and drank until her 80s. She personally knew Van Gogh. She also outlived an opportunistic middle-aged lawyer who'd agreed to pay her house rates and expenses in her 70s on condition she'd leave the house to him.

Also, Henry Kissinger has looked the picture of bad health since the 70s, and had a triple bypass in the early 80s.

Woo! Just found out James Earl Jones is still alive.

Mine too!

So insane, it's probably not true. Likely it was her daughter.
