RIP Spartacus

[Threevok]

Wonder if you get to 100 and just think, I want to die now?

I get to 9:30 and think the same

Hopefully you'll find out one day.

I enjoyed all his films.

One of the few Hollywood actors who remained married to the same woman the whole of his life as well, 65 years I believe. Respect.

Er. He was married twice.

The Swimmer was one of the oddest films I've seen. Disturbing too.

Grew up watching his films, fine actor

I am sure that for most people aged 100 it would depend on what condition they were in. Both of my parents were happy at 80, but putting up with health problems. A few years of suffering later and they'd had enough and told me so. I'm sure that most people would be content to be 100 years old as long as they had some quality of life left, but pretty tired of it if they didn't!

And starring Burt Lancaster, not Kirk Douglas!

Oops! I'm making my way to The Naughty Step.

His second marriage did last more than 60 years so you can still say respect.
He met Lauren Bacall at acting school but didn't marry her despite falling in love with her. That must have taken some doing. So respect again.

One of the earliest films i saw him in was build my gallows high where he plays a mob boss , it starred robert mitchum in a classic film noir
And who can forget this one ?

He lived a remarkable age. Personally I thought he was a little old to play Spartacus and how long ago was that!

 

[Cycleops]

An absolute classic @cyberknight He and Clint would have to fight it out for the best cowboy.

I am not that far on yet but sometimes I think it is time to go except I have to clear out my sheds first. The house my son can deal with but the sheds are in a different league. Still got to go places on my trike as well. Just one more reasonable summer.

If you are still riding your trike then I reckon you must have at least a few good years left...

Both of my parents spent a year ill in bed before dying. I definitely would not like that for myself. If I knew that there was no chance of recovery then I wouldn't want to hang around just for the sake of suffering a bit longer!
