In 1992 People magazine reported that Vigoda was dead, and by 2001 Vigoda's presumed demise had become such a pop culture joke that even the New York Times mentioned it in a story on his 80th birthday. - He left the United States Department of Agriculture in 1976 after intense criticism for an insensitive joke he told reporters. As of 2004, Butz is the oldest living former Cabinet member, regardless of department or administration served. 3. Tony Martin - Crooner popular in the 1940s and 1950s |
