… of Claudia Taylor Johnson. She’s 93 today. NewMexiKen worked at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library in the mid-1970s where I met and occasionally chatted with Mrs. Johnson. She was then, and I’m sure remains today, a warm, impressive and very attractive woman.
… of Hector Elizondo. Better-known perhaps for Chicago Hope, NewMexiKen remembers this fine character actor best as the gracious hotel manager in Pretty Woman. He’s 69.
… of Steve Carlton. Lefty is 61.
… of Diane Sawyer. She’s 60. Another person NewMexiKen once met; in Sawyer’s case while she worked for Richard Nixon after he resigned the presidency. It was 30 years ago, but I can still remember the moment and thinking that I wanted to be a former President when I grew up so that women as attractive as her would be on my staff.
… of Robin Gibb. The twin of Maurice (d. 2003) and brother of Barry and Andy (d. 1988) is 56.
… of Ralph Fiennes. The actor, twice nominated for the best actor Oscar, is 43.
