TopBilled Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnie_Mouse We should also add that Minnie debuted in STEAMBOAT WILLIE alongside Mickey (on the 18th of November in 1928). So she's 90 years old too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Birthday Ted and thank you for Turner Classic Movies! https://www.ajc.com/news/local/ted-turner-sings-his-80th-birthday-says-still-working-world/6jOUHi3TyQTBhjvvQvpRvJ/ Mickey's 90th, I knew about, with Disney's promotions. Ted Turner still alive, that is news to me. 😯 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewhite2000 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 He's been very quiet for a guy who used to be all over the place, hasn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that's who you are referring to, it was announced a while back that Ted Turner has dementia. That tends to slow one down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tends to slow one down. Oh, and he was sane when he used to show "Beastmaster II: Through the Portal of Time" three or four times a MONTH? On both TBS and TNT?? As for Mickey's 90th...do we really like "Steamboat Willie" (as opposed to, say "The Sorcerer's Apprentice") all that much, or are we just bluffing for the fact that Disney never showed us any of Mickey's cartoons in the 80's, and most of us grew up never having seen any in our lives until DVD?

sewhite2000 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Ah. I kind of half-suspected that, which is sadly often the case with celebrities who haven't been heard from in awhile. Sorry to hear that. My maternal grandfather and my brother's mother-in-law, who's still living, both suffered from Alzheimer's, so I've seen more of that up close and personal than I care to see again. Very sorry to hear that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the thread for people who die. I was too lazy to start a thread for Ted Turner, so I added him here. My bad. Norman "Spirit In The Sky" Greenbaum is 76 today. (Music louder than rest of movie dialog) He lives in Santa Rosa, CA. Me too. TopBilled might like he is a Mac Guy. Maybe this movie will show in February. There is but the Search failed to find it. Only came across threads observing those turning 100 and some individual birthdays.. Wish the web designers improve on the Search function and get rid of that annoying <Time out> error. Like add, the Search results gives you stuff one is NOT looking for. Edited November 21, 2018 by hamradio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Know what's one of the things I always liked about Mickey Mouse? (...that letter 'u' in his last name isn't superfluous) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
