He was old when he died? I'd say kinda, I hope I live to be a lot older than that.

Life seems pretty short when you start to pay attention to all the people dying all the time.

73 is supposed to be about average, which means that a lot of people die much older than that, but who knows what kind of health they are in too?

Shepard was a good actor and writer, I did not realize he has died.

You won't if you have ALS, which is what he had at his age.

Well he sure looked old, during his later years!

Rumor had it that he was a heavy drinker, which will make a person old before their time. Inside and out.

Not old enough. But with his condition, old for his age.
