I think nobody expected him to live that long. He did hit the drugs and booze (and women) pretty hard in his younger days.

He was an incestuous pedophile wasn't he?

I remember watching his movie with my folks in the 1990's as a young teenager

Hey, the guy was from Louisiana, perfectly acceptable behaviour for that part of the world

The current minimum ages for marriage in the USA are pretty amazing:

Most states have a minimum marriage age for minors with parental consent, ranging from 12-17 years old. However, California and Mississippi do not have minimum ages for minors to be allowed to marry with parental consent. Massachusetts has the lowest minimum marriage age with parental consent of 14 years old for boys and 12 years old for girls. Some states have different minimum ages for males and females, with or without parental consent. For example, in Mississippi, the age of consent to marry with parental consent is 17 for males and 15 for females.

Here are some additional notes by state:

Arkansas: Age of consent to marry with parental consent for males is 17; for females is 16.
Delaware: Age of consent to marry with parental consent for males is 18; for females is 16.
Massachusetts: Age of consent to marry with parental consent for males is 14; for females is 12.
Mississippi: Age of consent to marry with parental consent for males is 17, for females is 15.
New Hampshire: Age of consent to marry with parental consent for males is 14; for females is 13.
Ohio: Age of consent to marry with parental consent for males is 18; for females is 16.
Rhode Island: Age of consent to marry with parental consent for males is 18; for females is 16.
Puerto Rico: Age of consent to marry with parental consent for males is 18; for females is 16.
