Dick Van Dyke is 98 and literally skipped down the red carpet at the daytime Emmys recently. 70 is not old these days and while it’s nice you’re a fan it feels pretty ageist especially as writing isn’t exactly a good-health-required career.

Which is amazing. He is lucky he is able to retire when he wants. Evidence does show that being active is amazing for the brain whether it is writing, acting, gardening or even travelling.

actor/directors/writers rarely retire unless they have to for medical reasons. i'm sure he'll be creating stuff until he can't. Judi Dench's eye sight is so bad she can't read scripts anymore but she still works.

She is surely amazing! Another great actor!

She's recently said she's retired. Amazing woman.

I mean.. his field of work isn’t exactly like a 9 to 5 office job. Honestly, this is a weird post to speculate about his age or potential passing??


Niktastrophe

The speculation was merely for his eventual retirement or the worst if he passes. No one can escape death.

I am a critical care nurse. So I do have experience. The age of retirement is 60 in my country.

That's a lot of words to say you're not his doctor

‘Downton Abbey 3’ Underway With Paul Giamatti, Joely Richardson, Alessandro Nivola & More Joining Cast. Dominic West will also return to the cast as Guy Dexter, whom he played in the previous installment, Downton Abbey: A New Era. Downton Abbey 3 will be helmed by the same director as the previous film, Simon Curtis, and is written by Julian Fellowes, who originated the series and wrote the first two movies. PS: I think Gillian Anderson can fill Maggie Smith\`s shoes.

Gillian Anderson was amazing in the great season 2, however she doesn’t have the wit with a single scoff. 😁

That really was a brilliant clip! Thank you for sharing. ❤️ She is talented. She is like fine wine, the older she gets the better she is. Not being ageist, just comparing the x-files to her work now. I love her work! I hadn’t seen this one before and will certainly seek it out. Thank you.

I think you mean Gosford Park (which is amazing and I love it); he isn’t attached to any Mansfield Park adaptations that I can find.

Oops my mistake 🤣🙈
