A (female) friend of my step-father's actually dated Abe Vigoda a couple of times about 10 years ago.

I always had this fantasy of that connection leading to a meeting at which I pepper him with GF questions and settle a lot of the debates we have here once and for all.

I guess not.

But, considering that the Godfather is nearly 45 years old, and he wasn't exactly a spring chicken then, it's pretty amazing that he lived as long as he did.
