There is hope! Let not thine old age convince thou of insignificance, for the following list details several who did great things when they were quite in their dotage!
Anna Mary Robertson Moses, better known as Grandma Moses, was a famous folk artist who did not begin her painting career until she was in her late 70's ... and she was still painting at the age of 100.
Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw was both a Nobel Prize Winner and an Oscar winner. He was active writing well into old age. At the age of 94, George Bernard Shaw wrote thebplay, Farfetched Fables.
American mystery writer Phyllis Whitney lived to be 104 years of age. She published her 79th novel, Amethyst Dreams, at the age of 93.
Pablo Picasso was one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. He painted, sculpted, designed, and more. At the ripe old age of 90, Pablo Picasso was still actively creating engravings and drawings.
Pablo Casals was one of the greatest cellists of all time. He was still active producing music and giving concerts at the age of 88.
Great examples to us all.
Great list!
Thanks for the info, especially about Phyllis Whitley. H5
I hope to be on someones list someday similar to this one. Great list of memorable people deserving a tribute.
It is true that we should never stop contributing and the word "retirement" should be taken out of our vocabulary.
