Glynis Johns is one of the handful of surviving villains from the '60s Batman show. IIRC, the others are Julie Newmar, John Astin, Joan Collins, and Barbara Rush.

Betty Boothroyd, 91. I'm not really surprised the old fucker is still going but I remember thinking she must be at least 91 at some point like 2006 or similar.
― calzino, Monday, 19 October 2020 23:37 (three years ago) link
lots of melty folk getting excited about Betty excoriating Boris Johnson in the House of Lords is a perfect illustration of a what a degenerate shithole the UK is. But I enjoyed much more listening to her on the British Audio Archives talking about living through the 30's depression in Dewsbury when her mum was working in a factory and her dad was an unfashionable house-husband.

Always genuinely surprised he's still here. Is he still living in a van?
― Ned Trifle X, Friday, 6 November 2020 10:49 (three years ago) link
He won a court case for $5 million for two decades in back royalties six years back, so hopefully not. But even when he was reported to be living in the van, it was parked outside a four-bedroom home his lawyer rented for him, that he was "too paranoid" to go inside.
― @oneposter (✔️) (sic), Friday, 6 November 2020 11:00 (three years ago) link
Apparently he didn't see the $5m because it was appealed but having now googled him it seems the Jackson estate bought up his back catalogue last year, so maybe now he's getting something?
