damn, well now we get the Beauty and the Beast Reunion of the Ages (yeah I only know him for his Disney Roles)...for god sakes protect Angela Lansbury!

 

you know I am really starting to think that the Canadian series Whatever Happened To is cursed (you know that show that aired on the late tvtropolis that was like a precursor to Oprah Where Are They Now?)

Wow, I had no idea Bannister was still alive, strange that I've never in my lifetime seen an interview or anything else featuring this guy.  I guess he preferred to live out his life in anonymity.

He broke the 4 min record in May 1954 and retired in Dec 1954 to pursue what would turn out to be a distinguished career in medicine (neurology).

This is worth reading and contains a video of "The Miracle Mile" which took place in BC while Vancouver was hosting the 1954 Empire Games:
