How old is he? 110? He was old when I watched him on TV a zillion years ago!
He certainly looks like it!

I remember Art Linklater from his own talk show. He used to interview kids, and I believe he wrote a book called Kids Say the Darndest Things.

He was speaking at the 50th anniversary of Disney World, he was at the opening in 1955.

Art was born 17 July 1912, which would make him 96 in a couple of months, he has outlived the majority of his children, who are now in their 70s.

WOW!
How sad. No parent should out live their child.
I can think of nothing sadder than losing a child.

Yep jumped out a window. I always heard she was high on acid or PCP and freaked out.

I was gonna say I think she was on drugs real bad and probably didn't ever realize she was jumping out of a window.
