I do hate to hear that but it happens to all of us eventually. I loved him in many movies and I remember him in the Coo Coo's Nest and Easy Rider when he was just starting out.

 

Yep, when Bob Hope was88 or 89 I went to a filming of one of his Christmas specials at the Antlers Hotel in Colorado Springs. Standing 5 feet from him, they were filming a scene. MS America was off to our right in a black Limo, she would pull up, get escorted out by someone and Hope would say his line, comedy line. The first 50 times he did it (Or didnt as it were) he was cussing like crazy, he couldnt get through half a line, back up the limo and do it all over again. For 3 hours we stood there while he tried to do that one line. The people around him were telling him they could splice it or something and to just do that last part of the line, at which he would tell them to shut up and back up the Limo, with about 500 people standing there. Three hours, he never got the line and was still doing it when we left. And when they aired it, the scene wasnt in there. Watching I noticed Hope was barely in the Special at all.

Actors don't retire.  If he's wanted and the price is right he'll be back.

 

I kinda think your right, hasnt Eastwood retired like 5 times, I thought once he was gone forever then next thing you know there's Clint looking really old, wrinkly but still bad azz in Gran Torino. Harry Callahan needs to come out of retirement.

He's not retiring.  Not from acting anyways.

 

 

 

Contrary to reports earlier this month, Jack Nicholson has not decided to retire from acting at age 76 because of memory problems. In fact, as he tells The Sun in a new interview, the actor believes that he has “a mathematician’s brain.” If Nicholson istaking fewer film roles lately, it is simply because he is less driven to “be out there any more.” The Oscar winner adds that “[t]he movie business is the greatest business but I only want to do films that move people, films about emotions and people.”

Although he has not retired from acting, The Sun suggests that Nicholson has retired from the other form of artistry for which he is best known: dating.
