William Shatner is 83. That is amazing to me. I hope I'm that with it and well put together if I make it to 83. I suppose being worth $100 million doesn't hurt, but it still gives me some hope.
77 or 83 is longer than any male in my family has lived that I know of. It seems to me that a lot of Hollywood types are under a lot of pressure to stay thin, stay good looking, etc and often go to the gym religiously and eat healthily. I imagine if we followed that model we'd all be that sharp and good-looking at that age.
(This is not a dig at Sir Stewart, I'm just pointing out that the two concepts "working actor" and "lucid/sensible person" are not necessarily linked -- as demonstrated by Brando, Depardieu etc.)
For us, fans of the french revolution and the beheading of kings, it's just "Patrick".
Accuracy is independent of politics. Or, if you prefer to think of it this way, Know Your Enemy.
Median age for FB users, it seems.
