Synopsis
YOUNG AT HEART--Aging Gracefully With Attitude is a collection of rare interviews of 61 old Americans who continue to stay fit and enjoy exceptionally productive lives. Author Anne Snowden Crosman, a former radio network and print reporter, became interested as she watched her own parents age gracefully. She spent more than a dozen years traveling the U.S. and taping hundreds of interviews with all kinds of old people. Many were famous, including Steve Allen, Benjamin Spock, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Dale Evans, and Roy Rogers. Some were not household names. But they shared a resilience, positive attitude, and love of life that has never grown old. Poignant, enlightening, and thought-provoking, YOUNG AT HEART sends a message of hope and inspiration to people of all ages.
