was once known as 'The World's Foremost Authority'.
Professor Irwin Corey, comedian, actor and left-wing political activist, strolls along Manhattan's East 35th Street pan-handling every day, seven days a week, for the last 17 years.
Of course professor Corey - who has enjoyed a long and illustrious career spanning Broadway, television, theatre and comedy clubs - does not need the money.
In fact he is not even homeless, despite his scruffy, scrawny appearance, but has an apartment in an affluent area of New York which he believes to be worth $3.5million.
His reasons for posing as a homeless down-and-outer and hassling drivers for change are two-fold: Since his wife of seventy years Fran died in May he said it helps beat the loneliness.
The 97-year-old also donates all the money he raises - sometimes up to $250 a day - to a charity that buys medical supplies for children in Cuba.

I guess for the other 16.5 years he did it because she told him to get of his lazy ass and do something.
Right
Yeah, but I don’t know the guys real fiscal situation. Maybe his place is paid for, maybe it belongs to his kids, who knows? Not my call.
and there’s the rub...
married 70 years?
I often think about Corey’s act when I hear AGW proponents from academia. They make about as much sense.

Donated to a Cuban orphanage, eh? Uh-huh. And I’m sure they provide receipts and report his donations to the IRS.
Oh, wait ...Cuba?
Let’s run the math:
$200/day x 300 days a year = $60,00/year x 17 years = $1,200,000 all off the books.
I think he could support a mortgage and the property taxes at that rate.
he's been doing it for 17 years though.... do they have proofreaders?
While you are correcting grammar maybe you should change who’s to whose in that post Laz.
I could. But I think the point was made betterester mine ways.
Ewe mite off bin rite adder awl. Eye shut half pad know at tension.
He is not using his money!
Yes,supposedly Emperor Norton was delusional and people played along with it.
This guy is not in the same ballpark. I remember seeing him numerous times on TV when I was younger. Now I find out he begs for money for Cubans.
I have sympathy for unfortunate children there and everywhere. But why doesn’t he concentrate on the unfortunate of this country?
The poor here need help just as much. I’m so tired of Americans being ignored. Let the Communists help the children of Cuba.
Also,who made Corey’s career? We did,not the Commies in Cuba.
