from his original point. Corey would do the same promos for WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee in 1977 during the time that rival stations WITI and WISN-TV switched affiliations. Corey often appeared on The Steve Allen Show (1962–1964), whereupon he would end his rambling stand-up routine with Allen and stage hands literally chasing Corey with a giant butterfly net. He later guest starred on The Donald O'Connor Show in 1968. Corey appeared in various Broadway productions, including as a gravedigger in a production of Hamlet. In 2009, filmmaker Jordan Stone began filming what was to become an award-winning documentary film called Irwin & Fran. Political activist and fellow stand-up comedian Dick Gregory shared some in-depth and provocative memories and Academy Award-winning actress Susan Sarandon narrated in a very personal tone. The film won The People's Film Festival Best Film Award in 2013. Personal life and death Corey was married for 70 years to Frances Berman Corey, who died in May 2011. The couple had two children, the late Margaret Davis, née Corey, an actress, and Richard Corey, a painter. Their two grandsons are Amadeo Corey and Corey Meister. Irwin Corey turned 100 in July 2014. In 2011, the New York Times reported that Corey was still performing, and also had been soliciting change from drivers near his Manhattan residence as they drove in from the Midtown Tunnel, in exchange for cleaning their windshields with a "squeegee," and donating the money to Cuban children. His agent said that Corey was not in financial distress, and a neighbor described it as a performance. Corey died at the age of 102 on February 6, 2017, at his apartment in Manhattan with his son, Richard, at his side.
