Mel Brooks – 97 Years Old
Mel Brooks, a comedy legend, rose to fame in the late 1950s as a writer on “Your Show of Shows.” But his Hollywood breakthrough came with the 1968 film “The Producers,” which won him an Academy Award. Mel’s later projects, including “Blazing Saddles” and “Young Frankenstein,” both released in 1974, cemented his icon status.
These films, known for their biting satire and slapstick style, also redefined comedic cinema. Mel’s influence extended beyond movies; he shaped the parody genre and influenced television comedy, leaving a lasting impact on American humor.
