Goodnight, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are!
That’s nice that his friends took him in when he got too old to live alone.
“They’ve got this…little spring…And it falls down stairs all by itself!”
“Just like Grandma!”
I didn’t know that was him in Cuckoo’s Nest. I quote his “I’m tired.. ” all the time. 98 is amazing.
One thing I’ve always said about his performance in SCCTM: He ia one of the few who GOT the intended tone of the thing, and (unlike most of the other cast members) never even tried to be serious. And because of that he is memorable.
Josep Elic did a number of Twilight Zone episodes (although they spelled his name differently on each appearance). I think he’s the one who calls out “WORDSDWORTH! ROMNEY! OBSOLESCENCE!” at the beginning of the episode, “The Obsolete Man.” He had a great voice. RIP.
that was Burgess Meredith’s 3rd Twilight Zone episode too.
