This Guy Has Lived a Long Time!
101?
He was great in Wilder's Some Like It Hot , and Hitchcock's The Wrong Man.
...and Streisand's Yentl.
Sad to report he just passed on April 5, 2022. Age 102.
shareGetting past 100 is an achievement, but it would seem that modernly (2022), the 90's might t be the best time to leave. Health and medical care allow for a fairly active 90's (see: Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, William Shatner.) But 100...not so good.
Nehemiah Persoff was one of scores of actors that TV series in the 60s would hire as "weekly bad guys." The rest all died a lot earlier. He's that "one in a million" he beats the control group.
