Goodbye to Tony Randall...

84 with a very young wife and 2 young children.

Quote

Randall and Heather, who was 50 years his junior, had two children - Julia Laurette, seven, and Jefferson, five.

In a 1998 interview, he said he was somewhat perturbed by public debate over a man so old starting a family. "I don't understand why they think it's their business, but that's not to say that they're wrong," he said. "Maybe I'm an old fool, but I can't look at it that way. I'm having the most wonderful experience of my life."

Enjoyed his acting. Am of the opinion he was too old to start a family.

Now you've got two young kids that will grow up without their father. Saw a lot of this in my job. Guy gets remarried at 59 to younger woman that wants a kid. Guy dies when said kid is two years old. Good deal for the kid?

I'm not convinced, having barely survived raising two through their teen years myself. Takes a lot of patience and love to do that, I think.
