Ninety-nine! Imagine being a main character on a popular TV show (early to late '50s, including The Jackie Gleason Show) just as broadcast television was starting to hit critical mass, then seeing everything that came afterward. Growing up during the Great Depression, grandparents alive with Lincoln during in the Civil War, WW2 in your 20s, commercial jet airliners in your 30s, moon landing and color TVs in your 40s, Internet in your 70s, smart phones in your 80s.

1924 to today, what a crazy time to be alive. She was the last Honeymooner. See ya, Trixie.
