      Born 1896, died 1996 at the ripe old age of 100.

      Ended his stage career after a bath injury in 1994. Caught a cold at Frank Sinatra’s Christmas party a month before his 100th birthday, and never fully recovered.

      If you’re in a position to attend Sinatra’s Christmas party a month before your 100th birthday you’ve already done well.
