Way back then I first heard of him when he played boxer Jack Johnson in the Broadway play and film The Great White Hope
Seven decades of acting. Whew!

"I will keep having to remind myself that its my birthday," Jones writes in an email to USA TODAY, adding that on the special day, "Ill make an exception and enjoy a slice of strawberry shortcake, my favorite!"
Jones says he's "feeling fantastic and grateful at 90 years old. Looking back at my life and extensive career, I am so proud of my work and accomplishments. I love growing older and wiser with time."
And a birthday wish:
"In order for us to heal and move forward, we need to learn to love and respect each other. That will be my wish when I blow out my birthday candles.
Amen to that!!
