Mel Brooks and Buck Henry (83) created [cite]Get Smart[/cite]. As long as we're into youngsters, Carol Burnett is 80. She's multi-talented. Everyone knows about her comedy and singing skills, but it's easy to forget that she's also a very good dramatic actress.

Bill Cosby is also a youngster. Like Mary Tyler Moore, he's 76. His recent special, [cite]Far From Finished[/cite], aired on November 23rd. In the 1960s, he won three consecutive Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his role as Alexander Scott in [cite]I Spy[/cite]. Cosby currently has an app. Sadly, Mary Tyler Moore's health doesn't appear to be all that good. Back in 2003 when she did [cite]The Gin Game[/cite] opposite Dick Van Dyke, she had to be heavily made up for her role as an elderly retirement home resident. I recall an interview where Van Dyke said he found it tough getting used to performing the R-rated language in the script. Moore said that that she had no trouble doing the R-rated language. You can spot June Lockhart as Belinda Cratchit in the 1938 MGM version of [cite]A Christmas Carol[/cite]. Her parents, Gene Lockhart and Kathleen Lockhart, played Bob and Mrs. Cratchit. June's daughter, Anne Lockhart, played Lieutenant Sheba in the original [cite]Battlestar Galactica[/cite]. People who imitate Cary Grant like to use the phrase "Judy, Judy, Judy." It's been established that Grant never uttered those words in a movie. It's likely that the origin of that phrase was a Larry Storch stand-up comedy act in the 1950s. [ap=schallert]Another notable[/ap] that needs to be acknowledged is William Schallert, 91. A very short sampling of his numerous roles includes: Patty Duke's father on [cite]The Patty Duke Show[/cite] Leander Pomfritt on [cite]The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis[/cite] Admiral Harold Harmon Hargrade, the 91-year old retired Chief of CONTROL on [cite]Get Smart[/cite] Undersecretary of Agriculture Nilz Baris on the [cite]Star Trek[/cite] episode [cite]The Trouble With Tribbles[/cite].

Betty White is 91, or maybe you hadn't heard? She keeps such a low profile. Fixed : Betty White is 91, or maybe you hadn't heard? [sarcasm]She keeps such a low profile.[/sarcasm] We should add: Cloris Leachman, 87, has been around forever and is remembered for many roles. She was Lassie's mother for one season before being replaced by June Lockhart in 1958. She's probably best remembered for her role as Phyllis on [cite]The Mary Tyler Moore Show[/cite] and [cite]Phyllis[/cite]. She won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in [cite]The Last Picture Show[/cite]. And you can't forget her role as Anthony Fremont's mother in the 1961 [cite]Twilight Zone[/cite] episode [cite]It's a Good Life[/cite] and its 2002 sequel [cite]It's Still a Good Life[/cite].
