27. Indeed. I had a cousin born when my uncle was 69

His girlfriend (later wife, now widow) was 40 at the time.

Testosterone levels drop and things become less effective, but there is no male equivalent to menopause and men can father children right up until they die of old age.

Note that there's a difference between "possible" and "good idea". My cousin was only 7 years old when my uncle passed away. It's hard to explain to a little kid that his dad lived a "long life", when the kid got to spend so little of that life with him. The death of a parent is devastating to a child whether that parent is 26 or 76. When you have children at that age, you're all but guaranteeing that they're going to experience that kind of pain before they get into full adulthood.

I know. Once you see the photos together,it's pretty obvious. pnwmom Oct 2013 #47
He is obviously Sinatra's son from that pic. Ol' Blue Eyes is back. kestrel91316 Oct 2013 #8
I agree. That picture shows it all. pnwmom Oct 2013 #46
You're right about that... joeybee12 Oct 2013 #48
Yes -- but he wouldn't be that good looking if Allen were in the mix. n/t pnwmom Oct 2013 #51

The true test: Does he have Frank's pipes or Woody's neuroses? pinboy3niner Oct 2013 #33
Frank would have been about 70 Freddie Oct 2013 #19

I don't doubt it. It probably tickled Nancy Jr. that her dad cheated on Barbara. duffyduff Oct 2013 #30
I thought the article said she was briefly married to Sinatra? IdaBriggs Oct 2013 #52
I am not talking about Mia. I am talking about Barbara Marx Sinatra. duffyduff Oct 2013 #54
To be fair, the only thing I know is that Woody Allen was screwing around with IdaBriggs Oct 2013 #56
I am not even that hard on Barbara. I am sure the truth lies somewhere in between. duffyduff Oct 2013 #58
What did Tina rake her over the coals about (generally)? IdaBriggs Oct 2013 #59
About her, generally, and her motives. duffyduff Oct 2013 #66
