A long performing careerSourced
The Mighty Atom was still performing in his eighties
Joe Greenstein, known as the Mighty Atom, continued strongman performances into his eighties. Accounts record his final performance in 1977 at eighty-four, including bending horseshoes. His stage career extended far beyond the age many people associate with such acts.
The stage name remained active through a long lifetime.
