True. George is still around, doing local events. I saw him recently at a screening of "Carol Channing" Larger Than Life" documentary at the Paley Center For Media in Beverly Hills. He still looks well, and is very sought after by fans, very polite & cordial to the media.
I met Mr. Chakiris in the mid 70's when he came to Milwaukee, WI along with Rita Moreno in a production of Guys and Dolls. Our high school put on that musical that year and I and a few friends went to see their production. We were able to get some VIP passes so we had the opportunity to meet him. He spent quite a bit of time with us asking us questions about our show, even though we were just kids and was very down to earth. A very nice man! I still have the program that he autographed for me.
@Rollman1 At this shindig up in Burbank called the Hollywood Show... they do reunions for classic films, etc. They got George, Russ Tamblyn and Rita Moreno together. George was a great guy to meet and Rita liked my deep voice!

A great guy who should not be overlooked. I know many
performers and have never heard anything but good things said
about this special guy as a human being and a professional.

This segment was taped from television, thus the movement and quality. The original show is very clear.

It is unfortunate that this video is of such poor quality, because it would have been nice to really hear and see what he said.
