Let's be fair, John Simon will be 93 years old next month.

Delightful video.

I agree, absolutely adorable!! Bright little girls, & loved the way he encouraged their opinions. Really glad he is still working....also one of our last links to legendary 20th century critics.

Legendary mostly now for how nasty he was about actors' physical appearance.

His adversaries, Pauline Kael of the New Yorker and Andrew Sarris of The Village Voice, have been gone for a long time. So they are mostly forgotten.

Kael had a hard edge as well.

Kael could be very critical--and very funny--about certain actors' talents, or lack thereof. But never once did she belittle anyone for their physical appearance, or their race.
