Carl Reiner started getting laughs on TV comedy more than 60 years ago. No wonder he's an entertainment legend.

So how does Carl Reiner feel these days? "Like a 93-year-old," he told Tracy Smith. "But I don't feel it in my head. I walk around the block all day, so my legs are good. So, what is 93? The number's scary!

"First thing in the morning, before I have coffee, I read the books. Then I'll have breakfast.""My doctor says all my vital signs are perfect. I could live another hour!" he said. 

The truth is, Smith said, he is still writing."I wake up every morning anxious to get to my computer to write" He says. Reiner's just finished the fourth volume of his memoirs.

As a young GI during World War II, he'd met Estelle Lebost, an artist eight years his senior. "He was just extremely handsome," Estelle said.. 

"I had a lot of hair in those days, black hair," said Carl."Too much black hair or too much wavy hair.""No, no, he was really good-looking, but typical. I said tall, dark, and handsome."And what did Reiner think when he saw her? "Nice figure," he said. "Of course. I was 20!"They married in 1943, and had three children: Robbie, Annie and Lucas.
