I think we’ve all wondered alot what Bobby’s life would have been like had he lived past 31. Would he have remarried? Once, twice, maybe more times as many celebrities do? Would he have opted not to go back to acting at all, and instead choose a different career path?
Next Spring would have been Bobby’s 80th birthday. To many of us in the younger set, that can seem positively ancient, though there are plenty of octogenarians who maintain active lifestyles and still contribute regularly to life and art!
Out of curiosity, I wanted to see who we know that would have been Bobby’s age to maybe give us a picture of the life he might still be living if he were here. It was fascinating to think about….
Also born in 1937...

It's funny cause Jack Nicholson is one of my favorite actors, next to Bobby. Both are very talented. It's kinda odd that Jack lived up to be one of hollywood's greatest actors and lived up his 80s while Bobby only lived up to his 30s and didn't become a hollywood legend. I don't really know how to explain this.
ReplyDeleteI think Jack just ended up focusing more on his craft and Bobby ended up unfortunately getting pulled into social circles that made bad decisions. When drugs get involved, all your hopes and dreams usually end up tanking like a lead balloon.
