I have a feeling that what happened wasn't planned.

1. I loved J. Fred

I recall I had a couple story books about him.

2. He was a thirsty little bugger wasn't he?

I see Betty White and I think Bennet Cerf. Could the other man be Henry Morgan?

3. Nothing like a co-star capable of ripping one's arm off and eating one's face ...

... he's still alive and retired in Florida.

5. 71 years old

Thanks for sharing that. I would have bet Muggs passed away long ago.

7. Chimps regularly get to 70 years old. He has a good life.

8. 50 to 70, according to Wikipedia

70-ish in captivity. You’re right — he’s had a good life. Guess that comes with being a Top Banana.
