Everyone did back in the day...not that it makes it right...but...

I didnt like him all that much coz I mosatly saw his TV special that were cardboard performances...although I found some of his Road movies amusing...the BEST one was the Lemon Drop Kid...

I think at One Hundred years he's lead a long healthy life...

I have my ideas that he really died long before his 100th birthday.
