Did they all sign deals with the Devil? This is an insane age to live to, especially in the era of heavy drinking and smoking

It's also the age with the best medicine and the most medical research.
My grandma turns 92 in a couple weeks.
It's not like any of these people were ever known as a hard partier and outside of some of their characters smoking I don't think any were long-term smokers.
You know there's so much mythos about hard living entertainers, but there's also a ton of entertainers who spend their nights in bed with their spouse, watching the TV and movies they didn't work on. Occasionally telling their family "oh she's hard to work with", "I know that guy!", "he's the sweetest man, so generous", "that girl, I worked with her on a show the director was nuts, finally I think it was Robert Duvall just dropped the script, said 'I'm done' and walked out."
May have a glass of wine, smoked a doobie in 1966 and tried amphetamines for a month in the 50s, but generally ate healthy and lived active and always caught the disease before it progressed.

God set the current limit to 120ish years. Most don't make it due to luck and lack of willpower.
Before the great flood it was possible to live even longer, again with luck and willpower.

Barbra Streisand's dad had what I have and they lived near where I live.
One day when Babs was a month old, he had a seizure, fell onto some subway tracks and died. That's less likely to happen to me because they made drugs to keep me from having a seizure and falling onto subway tracks.

George Burns lived to be 100 and he was famous for non-stop cigar smoking. Some people just have really good genetics.

If rich people get cancer the doctors will do a keyhole surgery to extract a piece of the tumor and then they'll test a bunch of different therapies on it to find the perfect treatment. Normals don't get this.

Sometimes medicine can help but it's rarely the reason anyone lives to 100.
Apparently the one major health problem Van Dyke had (apart from his leg problems) the doctors had no clue what to do about, and it later turned out to be dental implants (a medical procedure) that were responsible for it.
Cardiology is a field I can kind of see working, other than that it's extremely rare medicine helps and it's much more likely to harm.

People overall underestimate how much stress really affects your health. Just going around being neurotic and angry all the time about every little thing is what's going to age you and reduce your lifespan the most.

Addicts are tough to work with so usually their careers are cut short. People underestimate how boring actors really are. They are empty shells. Very good at portraying someone interesting with the right script and direction but you listen to them in a candid interview and 90% of them are the most NPC normalfags imagineable.

Their generation was before drug use was really a thing, that came in with the boomers. At most they would have drank and smoked, but huffing coke and whatnot was a boomer thing which is why half the 70s-80s SNL cast members are dead now.

I hope to never find out that feeling of knowing that death could come at any moment, and you pretty much guaranteed won’t live to see another decade.
I want my final words to be something like “Hey, what was tha-“

Maybe more in the sense that you feel like you have something to prove in your life and so your body doesn't give up as easily. People who feel like they have things to live for will live for a long time like politicians and businessmen despite being horrible people in their own lives.

i asked my great aunt what the secret is, who is 103
she claims it's down to just relaxing and never sweating the small stuff, but really it's 90% genetics
she is a genetic freak that rolled a 10 in literally everything, beauty inside and out, health, intelligence. i wish i had half of her rolls

27 isn’t a magic number, it’s just the age where being rich, addicted, and surrounded by yes-men cashes the check. If Hendrix had been born in 1995 he’d just be another SoundCloud burnout with a face tat and a podcast about sobriety.
Also half of them were spiraling for years beforehand. It’s not some mystical “rockstar curse,” it’s untreated mental illness + unlimited access + no one telling you no.
Yelchin is the only one there that actually feels tragic instead of inevitable. The rest are basically cautionary posters for not believing your own myth at 23.
