I was both surprised and greatly saddened to hear the news of Peter Boyle’s death this past Tuesday. In my opinion, this was one of America’s most talented and underrated actors ever. He was a very young 71 years old, which is kind of surprising. It’s funny how these actors always look younger on TV.
Boyle’s career was giant, but he will most be remembered by me for his unbelievable performance in Young Frankenstein. Born in 1935 Boyle would have been 39 when this movie was made.
Why is it I feel so old? Peter Boyle is dead. Young Frankenstein is 32 years old.
