nodnarb Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 i don't know why i thought of this now, but it just occurred to me that harry morgan is still alive. He was an old man in 1980, for fug's sake. You know, col. Potter from MASH...he's still kicking at 90+ something...but he LOOKED like a frail old man 25 yrs ago. pretty amazing genes.

PTR 611654[/snapback] In stark contrast to many of the goofy, light-hearted parts he played, Don Knotts was a Drill Instructor while he was in the Corps. Although I was nowhere near gracing the face of the earth when he served, legend has it that he was one of the meanest SOB's to wear a smokey bear.

Yet think of how old some actors were and still acting. Burgess Meredith was acting at 88. Sir John Gielgud was 96 and still acting. Look at Christopher Lee, nearly 85 and still going strong. To stay on topic.... R.I.P. Don Knotts, and thank you for all the laughs.
