Hollywood Legends Who are Still Alive and Making Magic
Mel Brooks – 95 Years Old
Like most American youth in the 1930s and ’40s, Mel Brooks joined the army to fight in World War II. But having survived the fighting, he opted to follow his true passion—music. So, he started working the club scene in New York as a drummer and Pianist while discovering and working on his writing talent in the process.
His writing led him to Hollywood and famous parodies such as The Story Of The World pt1, Young Frankenstein, Spaceball, and Robin Hood: Men In Tights. He has also won the EGOT and dabbled in voice acting on films like Toy Story 4, Hotel Transylvania, and the 2021 film Blazing Samurai.
