The Curse of the Magnificent Seven


All seven are dead!!!

Of course, they were all old men when they died but why quibble over details?

reply

Vaughn, Bronson and Dexter are actually the only ones to reach a decent age. The other 4 died prematurely (in McQueen's case, that's the biggest understatement).

Eli Wallach at least lived such a long life.

Yul was 65, that's fairly old. Coburn was 74. Bucholz was 70. Hardly young. The curse is real.

They weren't really old either. Eli Wallach lived to a good old age in comparison.

Look at Kirk Douglas - 100 next month!

"Yul was 65, that's fairly old"

Sixty-five is not anywhere near old enough to die. It's only a partial life. Death at sixty-five is premature.

Wasn't poor Steve McQueen only 50 when he passed?

That's ridiculously young!

Cancer's a bitch.
