Happy birthday to actor Abe Vigoda, who turns 91 today!
Yes, Abe Vigoda is still alive. No, we're not kidding.
Vigoda's longevity has turned him into a punchline, a standing joke representing all those actors and actresses who are still with us, but seem perhaps like they might have passed on years before.
No insult to the man intended, but when there's a website (abevigoda.com) solely devoted to which side of the dirt you're waking up on, you've got to acknowledge and have fun with it.

Happy birthday Abe!

How different real life is.

Everytime I'd watch the Trailblazers, I'd say, "Look! Abe Vigoda!" Everyone would say, "huh?"
And you, too, Mr. Vigoda!
