on a close up of a deed of if they could from the control room and if you can remember when you used to go to the carnival see you know you go in they would have a fellow there who would guess the weight of somebody there was another one who would guess the age of some person who was in the you know the media no i'm talking no i'm talking out to the audience and so your job in the audience is to try and take a look at this and maybe if you can come up tight i don't know if you can but i want you all to guess if you could the age of adidas chairman with who we're we're talking now take a good careful look and so forth and everybody you could write it down how do listening to that so you can take a lesson ninety three years old a good clean living will result in something like this congratulations on holding yourself so well and you still follow very carefully a long jeopardy regime you gentleman's that's right you were you were yeah that's right i know we have it there we could we could let people know you written up this is it this is here let's yes that's it i don't know where we can best bring this up maybe here or no here i'm going to bring it up on  not yeah there's an article inside this is the journal of longevity i don't know where the article is haven't you find it and they wrote up an article in the journal of longevity and three m let me sit here here all right let's get the whole thing that here it is there it is and then there's more about and some of the secrets of longevity living is included in this article and i did talk it came out this is august of last year two thousand and four and it has to do what article that you were having your st child at twenty two and the doctor said eat lots of calcium you never do it ever since for some of the supplements and paid attention to your health yeah yeah good good i do like china doctor told me i should take the over night something else happened one but i don't i know about people have died overnight but you've done well you've done well by living a very good life and you've also been able to become as it is a legendary right a photographer and you come to know so many of strawberries have to go out with a little camera and shoot them on the wrong got them coming to me so you are in a portrait photographer will you think mainly my father was a photographer he right oh yeah you have to find people interested in that and putting it on anybody interested out there might be able to get in touch or there were contact information of the and particularly some of you people are looking for some sort of a new product to get out on the market and that right and what was he involved with what he was and what photographs he was a to some of that but you know fathers do that but then you picked it up and you when did you start getting the idea that you really like this sort of thing and start picking up a camera to take your own photographs rather than develop your father  while and then came back and then i met my husband harold how his name was harold the grand old name is going out and you know maybe it'll be and lucy had some greats we had stiglitz i guess we had and i don't mean going and those kind of think gordon parks did an awful lot of beautiful work for the life and i hang up on that yeah and you knew the photographer community and so forth and were some of them on many many television ran yet you got so many of their time in italy and in the united states but you have a little piece of tape that shows some of your appearances in television and that's for if we could cry and set that up in the control room now we could set it up and we're talking no ballerina but at seventy six years old one has to keep fit especially when one works as a portrait photographer that's right it's easy to forget amid all the laughter but the duchess has a korea as a photographer there is andy warhol there and she is as accomplished a trained kicker as she is appropriate for a job or for our subject today you may have noticed is a celebrated comedian mr chacon mason another accomplished trained kicker  had wonderful you you've been in the artistic ground both in music and color that sort of thing and that's where things are going on all the time that are really of the mind and spirit more i would suggest perhaps more ram and more reflective of the real world then all the so called reality concerned with politics and economics which makes up most of the news don't you think the artistic sensibility they were revealed is more real than what the so called reality  you think that people are in touch with things and get it across know do you think you you again let's just stress the fact because people may have tuned in that this woman that i'm speaking to now is ninety three years old believe a bowl that you look so well it is such a wonderful thing do you think part of the prescription for living ripe good life well led life is a well led life that you are in communication with some of the best of the human spirit that helps contribute to with a right people that are involved in the artistic and the expression of the human spirit beyond all of them on dame economics and politics and so forth is something that could be recommended to make greater numbers of young people coming along yet perhaps  recognition that those problems that have been so crucial in the past are going to become less crucial and like aristotle said in paris clean greece it was based on slave society but only if you could be involved with the mind in the spirit that the concern with the really important things rather than being always concerned with the urgent thing is going to become available to greater numbers of people as we move ahead these generations and the past setting you set a path that people could model in terms of i going to become more characteristic of the human society that has been you do think that i think so well then you're a model for the ages my dear you feel that way do you feel like you're a role model for so many young people coming up when they're looking around i will live to be life to is to be able to find the best in people and communicate in a loving kind of way with our fellow human being and yes i mean i have you know like tea in the afternoon and invite people to come over older people yeah i there's a british expression this is a little bit of what you fancy does your good so having some fun in your life helps as well though yes i don't have too much time but i because you're too busy having a good job ever to do but yeah i'm a good time yeah yeah well that's to turn in a diva thanks a one million for coming is a great pleasure meeting with a real royalty and you are a royal strain and so forth and then the regal mist comes through and just tomorrow please tune in so it's really good
