Which is the unfortunate juxtaposition? Charlie Rose and Louis C.K.? Or Louis C.K. leering at 84-year-old Carol Burnett?

Nonagenarian Documentaries Nobody Should Miss
November 19, 2017
I had a really nice LA experience Saturday night. I had seen a bit of press about a documentary about ROSE MARIE (who played the woman writer on Dick Van Dyke Show). I hadn't paid much attention. Then I saw a listing in LA WEEKLY for a showing at Egyptian Theater with (expectedly) Dick van Dyke and Rose Mary (both mid-90s.) I went up to it. (Though I couldn't drag along any family members.)
The film itself was REALLY good, and titled "WAIT FOR YOUR LAUGH." Rose Marie had an incredible life, from a 4 year old child star to being a big Vegas act in the early 50s to her mid 60s TV career. She's still alert at 94.
The documentary itself was REALLY well done, much better than I expected.
When it was over, a huge roar of applause from the sold-out media audience at the 1920s movie palace theater. Dick Van Dyke and the director were interviewed by someone from LA Times afterward.

Really enjoyable.

Other Nonagenarian Documentaries
My longstanding favorite nonagenarian biopic is LES PAUL: CHASING SOUND, Les Paul was a self educated (?fourth grade drop out) electric guitar genius, electronics inventor, and very, very creative musician in the 40s and 50s. Still around when the film was made ten years ago at age 90. I highly recommend. It seems to stream for free on Youtube.
