Eighty has been the new sixty for about twenty years now. In fact, there have always been late-in-life achievers, those who declined to go into decline just because they were eligible for social security. Journalist, humorist, and history buff Mo Rocca and coauthor Jonathan Greenberg introduce us to the people past and present who peaked when they could have been puttering—breaking out as writers, selling out concert halls, attempting to set land-speed records—and in the case of one 90 year old tortoise, becoming a first-time father.
The amazing cast of characters includes the original EGOT, Rita Moreno; Mary Church Terrell, who at eighty-six helped lead sit-ins at segregated DC lunch counters; and John Goodenough, who won a Nobel Prize at ninety-seven for inventing the lithium-ion battery.
