Dick's Latest Blooper

By Rebecca Winters

America's oldest living teenager has always liked hanging with the kids. But when DICK CLARK turned down a fellow septuagenarian for a job at his production company, he landed in some grownup legal trouble. Producer Ralph Andrews, 76, filed suit against Clark, 74, for age discrimination last week, citing a letter Clark wrote him. "The last development guy we hired was 27 years old," it says, according to the claim. "People our age are considered dinosaurs!" A spokesman for Dick Clark Productions declined to comment. Clark's other employees may want to stock up on their Grecian Formula.
