'74-'90 Aged like 30 Years


Such a young guy in Chinatown but looked like a really old, out of shape geezer by Two Jakes. Just 10 years earlier in The Shining he still looked OK with a hint of youth in him. But from the early 80s to '90, he must've found the Fountain of Geriatrics somewhere.

Every scene had him sweating profusely and struggling to move and get up and around. He lumbered through the whole movie. He was only 52-53, my same age, but he looked liked my grandfather.

Maybe too much success and money does age you incredibly fast.

Never seemed like a guy who worked out or took care of himself... there's lots of party stories, smoking, alcohol and women.... perhaps drugs too... he was still really cool, lots of charisma and probably slept with 10000s of beautiful women... lucky sob.
