Name three historical figures who enjoyed longvity?

Answer 1

Methuselah in The Bible lived to be 900 years old (poor guy, but he did love God so that was good). And we have one of my all time favorite fellows.

From Quotations Book Com

Benjamin Franklin (January 17, 1706 April 17, 1790) was one of the most prominent of Founders and early political figures and statesmen of the United States. Considered the earliest of the Founders, Franklin was noted for his curiosity, ingenuity and diversity of interests. His wit and wisdom is proverbial to this day. More than anyone he shaped the American Revolution despite never holding national elective office. As a leader of the Enlightenment he had the attention of scientists and intellectuals all across Europe. As agent in London before the Revolution, and Minister to France during, he more than anyone defined the new nation in the minds of Europe. His success in securing French military and financial aid was decisive for American victory over Britain. He invented the lightning rod; he invented the notion of colonial unity; he invented the idea of America; historians hail him as the "First American".

And we cannot forget Bob Hope who kept our troops laughing for decades. He lived to be 100 years old. Did you know he earned a Medal of Honor for his USO work entertaining troops around the world and on the radio?
