He remained physically active well into his eighties. He took up skateboarding in his late seventies and was awarded a life membership in the National Skateboard Society. At seventy-eight, he broke his left wrist while skateboarding in his driveway. He also had an interest in boxing and true crime.

I read somewhere that he quit smoking cigarettes after the Surgeon General put out the warning about cancer. Those dancers back then had stamina and athletic ability.

I think he'd be like 120 if he was still alive. I guess it's possible!
