The death of Peter Boyle got me thinking of all the actors who have appeared opposite Gene Wilder who died before their time:
Zero Mostel
Dick Shawn
Madeline Kahn
Cleavon Little
Marty Feldman
Richard Pryor
Gilda Radner
And Teri Garr is battling Multiple Sclerosis.
Meanwhile, Cloris Leachman seems to be defying the odds. She is 80 and headed to Broadway.

Well they weren't in their 100s but they were still older. It's not a rare thing that a 71 or 62 or even a 44 year old pass.
Boyle - 71
Go to your room.
The current life expectancy in the US is 76. They were YOUNG!
You could say the same about Mel Brooks with those folks tho too.. He's worked with them all

NLS probably thinks that 30 is on the upper end of middle age.

No I don't.
44 hasn't been "old" since the 1300s.
Where the hell have you been?
NLS spends too much time watching telivision shows for toddlers.
Either that, or Logan's Run.
