    I did some research on "Pop" Carter, he was just blessed to come from a family of supreme genetics. His mother lived to be 109, his father lived to be 116, and his mother's father lived to the ripe ol' age of 121, you won't see this type of family life longevity too much anymore...

      Not buying it. He was full of it and it showed. He come from a family of drifters that made their living from not being honest, slight of hand and telling tall tails also know as lies.
      I believe he was a good entertainer, but when he appeared on Groucho he was closer to being in his early to mid seventies.
      His smoking at 2 and drinking and eating anything he wanted was likely true.
      There is no record of all of those children or even a verifiable one about a wife. And even had he had all those kids, twins and all, and his wife “said he was a man”, we all know how challenging it is for a male to produce. 🙄
      Back then a person could literally tell any story they wanted to and unlike today there was no way to verify their claims.

    My great-great grandfather was the oldest man in Oklahoma in the mid-1950s. He was born in 1852 and died in 1958, so pretty similar to Mr. Carter here. He was a farmer and worked very hard on his property. He didn't have electricity or running water until he was around 100 years old!

It didn't really catch on until the 1920s, after nurses in Europe started using this cut in WWI for convenience and health reasons. According to a recent survey, 72% of men are more attracted to women with long hair. You can certainly count me in that group. It's every woman's right to shave her head, but it's every man's right to be attracted to long hair. Long hair on women seems to be fairly universal throughout human history. Why did you raise the subject of hair length?

The golden age of long hair in women was ca. 1900 when women wore waist length and longer hair piled on their heads. The boudoir moment of a woman letting down her long hair for her lover was extremely erotic to a bourgeois gentleman of the time.

    the United States and Europe doing a skating act. After vaudeville, they

      No disrespect intended but you need to take these extreme claimed ages with a grain of salt.
      For example, only one person in history has been VERIFIED to live to at least 120 and she was the Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment.
      Only one man has been VERIFIED to live to see his 116th birthday. He was a Japanese man who lived 116 years and 54 days.
      The ages you give have almost certainly NOT been verified by the proper groups.

Imagine if during the civil war someone would have told this guy "Some day there will be a thing called TV, it's like a photograph, only it's animated and it's live and it's in everyone's houses and there will be TV shows and you will be on one of these shows and people all over America will be watching you at the same time. Also, the moving pictures of you will be saved, and in the year 2016, over 40 thousand people will watch you again, on a thing called the internet. Many of those viewers will be watching you while they are flying, driving or laying in bed on their telephones. Oh, also, there will be a guy who took an interest in you and looked up event that happened in the year of your birth, and other people read what he wrote about you and they thumbed up his comment and subscribed to him (hint hint, lol) and now you have a bit of immortality Bob.
    These are some of the things that happened in the year he was born; Minnesota became the 32nd U.S. state, Dallas became a city (incorporated) in Texas, the Treaty of Paris is signed which ended the Crimean War, Lawrence, Kansas is captured and burned by pro-slavery forces, The Great Train Wreck (the worst railroad disaster in the world to date) occurs in Pennsylvania, Democrat James Buchanan becomes the 15th President of the United States defeating the new fledgling political party called "Republicans", Kate Warne, the first female private detective, begins to work for the Pinkerton Detective Agency, Sigmund Freud and Nikola Tesla are born along with Woodrow Wilson who will become the 28th President of the United States, and finally, the British Guiana 1 cent magenta postage stamp is issued. There is only one left and it happens to be the world's rarest stamp. I would have loved to have been able to speak with Pop and photograph him.

I'm glad I wasn't alive and an adult in the 50's because I'd definitely be dead at a younger age due to a hereditary condition I've been able to control. Now myself and other relatives, we are all living longer lives. I was close to death 8 years ago. I'm just fine now.

    Otto ('Pop') Carter, who was born behind the stage where his parents did a dance act, in San Antonio, Texas in 1856, celebrated his 107th at the Gardena roller-skating rink where he worked. His parents were entertainers--toe-dancers. They did a vaudeville act as The Carter Family. His mother lived to 109 and his father to 116. His mother's father lived to 121. Otto and his wife (who died in 1943) and were married on roller skates in 1875 in Indianapolis. They had sixteen children--nine boys and seven girls--with six sets of twins in the bunch. As at 1963 they were all living 'so far as I knew', and there were then 69 grandchildren, 39 great-grandchildren and 19 great-great-grandchildren. Otto, his wife and all their children toured the United States and Europe doing a skating act. After vaudeville, they toured rinks doing exhibitions. A lot of their act was acrobatic, like barrel jumping. For eight years prior to 1963 Otto had a Job as skate checker at the Rollerama, 2040 W. Rosecrans Blvd in Gardena. He worked six evenings and two afternoons a week.

    As some people here in the comments already suspect, Otto Carter was a liar. He claimed to be born on January 5th 1856 in Upland, Indiana (some sources likes this TV show appearance name San Antonio, Texas, as his birthplace). Actually, he was born as Otto Don Marine on August 8th 1887 in Upland, Indiana, so the birthplace was right. His older brother Fred Marine was born on January 5th 1885, that's where he took the birthdate from. Their father Solomon Marine died young, I couldn't really find reliable info on the date yet. In 1893, their mother Sarah Almeada Tweedy re-married, and her second husband was a man named Millard Filmore Carter. Millard F. Carter was born in 1856, and that's where Otto Carter got his fake birthyear.
    So: his own birthplace + his step-fathers birthyear + his brothers birthdate.
    Sometime after 1900, Otto Don Marine took his stepfathers surname Carter. In 1906 the family moved from Indiana to San Francisco, where Otto (then called Otto Marine Carter!) married 18-year old Ellen D. Carr in May of 1907 at the age of 19. The marriage probably didn't last long, but I haven't found any reliable info on Ellen D. Carr yet. She might have re-married in 1913, but I'm not sure yet if it's the same woman. So far I haven't seen any indication that there were children from this marriage
    Between 1910 and 1920, Otto's step-father Millard Filmore Carter and Otto's mother Sarah Almeada Tweedy got divorced. In the 1920 census, Otto is living in San Francisco with his mother, who claims to be widowed. Millard Filmore Carter died on January 3d 1944 in Los Angeles, the death certificate correctly states that he was divorced.
    From 1923 to 1926, Otto Carter had to serve a prison sentence at San Quentin prison. There's a picture taken of him when he was put into that prison, where it's clearly visible that this is the same man who appeared on the You Bet Your Life Show in 1958.
    In the 1930 census, Otto Carter lived in San Francisco with his mother, just like in 1920. In 1940, he lived at the State Soldiers Home Lafayette in Indiana. Maybe his mother passed away between 1930 and 1940? I couldn't find any record of her death yet.
    The mentions of Otto Carter being an old skater, born in 1856, range from 1949 (alleged age 93) to 1963 (alleged age 107). To be fair, it's impressive that he apparently kept that lie alive for at least 14 years. When he appeard on You Bet Your Life in 1958, claiming to be 102 years old, he was actually just 71 years old. It's interesting to me how he looks down immediately after he is asked if he is 70 years old.
    Otto Don Carter passed away on April 7th 1966, at the age of 78 years.

    Mark C. Bloome tires sponsored some local TV show back then in LA. That Lari Lane was certainly a lovely girl. Hope she is still with us.
