Marilyn's Photos - Oct 18 2025 - David Attenborough at 99
David Attenborough is 99 years old and made history yesterday by winning a 2024 Emmy Award for his show Netflix’s Secret Lives of Orangutans.
The article says: “That makes Attenborough, 99, a hair older than Van Dyke, who was 98 when he won the Guest Performer in a Daytime Drama Series Emmy last year for his appearance on Peacock’s Days of Our Lives.”
He’s 25 years older than me and still working. How is that possible? There’s always an answer these days. Google says: “his longevity is attributed to a lifestyle that includes a passionate sense of purpose, staying physically active, a plant-focused diet with less red meat, and maintaining a deep connection to nature.”
There are many articles on this subject when he turned 99 in March 2025. Probably we can go back five years and there will be a string of these articles.
He is a popular topic in the press. Other articles outline some medical issues - cardiovascular and mobility issues, including knee replacement surgery and a pacemaker.
We love to keep track of old, older and oldest, and the oldest person is a woman at 116 years old - Ethel Caterham.
It is a little to very late, but let’s all wish him Happy Birthday!
