What a lovely lady, so gentle, serene and beautiful and still so alert. It was lovely to watch.

Ash Tree

I enjoyed looking at that.

She certainly was a beautiful young woman and it reminds us all of the fragility of life doesn't it. The people who found the film and took it to her in the home seem to be such genuinely nice folk too.

102 years old!

Its so daunting that such a healthy young beautiful person turns into a frail old lady.

AshTree Sun 26-Apr-15 19:11:22

Yes, I know what you mean Parcs. Unfortunately it comes to us all sad. But I loved that she is still beautiful at 102, and I loved her expressive hands, with their beautifully manicured nails. That alone put me to shame.

Absolutely great! I loved watching that.
I have had a theory for a while, that generally, dancers live a long life.
