The idea that women become unattractive as we age is absolute misogynistic nonsense. She is proof that we can be stunning at any age.
Misogynistic? You have obviously not been spending time with many women. Women are much more judgmental about appearance as their peers age. Speaking for my self and most men I know find women our own age much more attractive then younger women. The older men that chase young women are shallow and weak but they are the exception not the rule. This woman is very attractive in many ways regardless of her age.
Women are harder on other women truth be told.
Don't be ridiculous. Ofcourse she's not as attractive as she was at 25. Stop being a suck up
To everything there is a season: this lady is classicly beautiful. She doesn't try to be young, just be her best, because she is also a class act.
Her personality is the most attractive thing about her. Make up is fine and all but, personality is where the fun at.
She's 90, turning 91, and she's sassy! Awesome woman.
I mean, 90 does lead to 91.🤷🏻♀️
Love her.she still got a lotta fire.Bless her
@aroseinwinter05 really? Had no idea
@@towerofresonance4877I mean, the comment was pretty lame. Hence my response
@@aroseinwinter05it’s not lame. Op said she’s that old and still sassy
My mom is 90 and I've been filming her for the last couple of years talking about life. It's really fascinating actually. My mother looks as good as this woman, drives around goes to dinner, goes to the theater. She's really doing very well.
That’s amazing! ❤
Maybe Mark would interview her? Mine just turned 88, born in rural Utah in the same small hospital room as her own mother, after her mother's mother went West from Arkansas right after the Civil War when her husband was shot to death (by his son-in-law) in a fight over illegal whiskey dealing.
As good as this woman? Hard to believe
@@DonnellOkafor-pd7yn they could be best friends!
@@EnvironmentalCoffeehouse awww
She’s beautiful! You know back in her younger days she was drop dead gorgeous
Yep.. Sounds like frank Sinatra was a creep..
Facts.
She gorgeous now’
@@yw2274 Yes she is!
Timeless beauty. 💋
I haven’t even watched 2 minutes of the interview and I’m already in awe of how beautiful she is. Those red lips! 💄💋
💄💋 I thought the exact same thing….”a little black dress & red lips”…Classic Forever💄💋
Down bad
My 102 years old GMA & is the exact same way. She goes to the beauty salon every week stating, “Men love the color red b/c it’s sexy.” She is the inspiration behind me opening a luxury consignment store & upscale fashion line!❤
I’m so jealous honestly! Of everything about her! 💕🩷
She’s gorgeous, and STILL so full of life. ❤
Hell nah 😭😭😭
These interviews are phenomenal, it’s like time traveling. Her memory and appearance are so put together
Yeah she showed selective memory and it's hilarious.
God Bless Rita... my Dad is 96.. wish I could get him w mark for an interview! He served in the Korean war. Folks in their 90's.. living history books.. 🙏🥰
would love to see it!
Please thank your Dad from me for his service. God bless him
I would love it if u could get him on with Mr. Laita
Have you tried?
@@airadaimagery692 no.. we are up here in the Portland Oregon area. I doubt very much Mark would make the trip & my dad would not be able to make a trip to California. However, Mark would find lots of interesting people here to say the least!
I miss my grandmother, she passed away a few months after her 98th birthday. Was such a joy to have a cup of tea and a biscuit with her .
I miss this also, My son's aunt Toni Mae was such an amazing woman. I miss her a lot. His mamaw, Laura passed yesterday, and I have no idea how to tell him. Every time I saw Her she always had a pretty dress, nick nack, or some little trinket to share. I'll miss Her too. None of Us know how long We have upon this Earth, It's good to remember that in daily Life~
Sorry for your loss, but it sounds like you have some really good memories to hold onto. Grandmas are such a blessing...
Same here. She was in her 90's and saying I'm too skinny. She would make me these massive breakfasts...bacon, french toast, scrambled eggs and fruit...oh and that instant coffee was so horrible but i drank every drop
She talks better than joe bidden
@@Mike-jr1vw there is a crackhead in town that makes more sense that ol'pedophile Joe! FJB
This lady is completely flawless
a beautiful lady - genuinely beautiful lady and intelligent - no wonder she has lived such an interesting long life
Wow, you just may be right.
😂🤣
just turned 54, love watching/learning from every single person you interview...I CHERISH listening to older people..our culture doesn't value them as they should. their knowledge and experiences and eyes from our past are SO VALUABLE! every day I understand the value of their life experience and LISTEN/LEARN. knowing our past, how things were and how they change is most important.
I decided to be a caregiver/companion for the elderly myself for this very reason. I love to hear about their life experiences.
I am 55, the world doesn't value us.
I note the low watch count in comparison to the usual guests. ..I bet it's mainly women viewing this lady too
@@redshoefive3234 I'll be 60 in January. You need to find value in yourself, IMO.
I'm 36 and young and I love this channel and I've learned to be yourself no matter what ppl think of you. I can say I have not experienced alot or half of what these women experienced in there life.
Interviews with our elders are my favorite. Please continue to seek out these gems ❤
I agree! Have you seen Mark's interview with Jane (NYC)? Another colorful, stunning, fascinating lady.
They are so good!
I second that!
Amen
All four of my grandparents were extremely depressed once they hit this type of age. Like somebody buy me a gun depressed. It’s really lovely to see somebody this age full of life and happy to have made it that far.
Money.
Yeah I agree
Gotta keep moving, socialising, learning, stay curious, keep up with world events, engage with complexity, get out the house.
My grandma is 85 and yeah, she's been depressed for a long time, but she retired 20 years ago and basically never did anything new, challenging or outside her routine. Just sat at home expecting her children to run around after her, nagging them into resentment.
Not just money but also a family that loves her and very importantly she has her health. That said I know she’s in pain. I can see the arthritis damage in her hands.
Holy mackerel. She does not look like she is 90! She has aged very well!
Like time traveling....love the older generation interviews Mark.
Love it.we need more of it
Like time traveling but better!
Agree! More from the older folks Mark
I think thats the most attractive 90 year old I've ever seen.
Madonna will be jealous reading your comment.
Rita is a beautiful example of aging gracefully.❤
Yes, unlike so many women today who rely on botox and fillers. Some have achieved the opposite of youthfulness. I'm afraid of needles so there is no options.
Rita might have had a facelift at sometime not to say she isn’t beautiful on her own
@@debbiemarlow4027DEFINITELY
plastic surgery
STILL KEEPING HER APPEARANCE TOGETHER N MEMORY SOLID.
This was astoundingly boring.
@@oliveoil4380not as boring as olive oil.
Wow never saw a 90 year old lady looking that beaufiful❤😊
My grandma turns 90 in October.. so angelic & appreciative of the small things. I’m so grateful to still have her here
What a striking woman. Bless her heart. Her ability to recall information is greater than mine, and I'm only 32.
She’s stunning!
plastic nip and tuck
Wow, its hard to believe this lovely lady is almost 91 years old! She is so clear and has a great memory. Her story is so interesting and some parts are sad. Thanks for this great interview Mark. Very nice of this lady, to tell her story, she's amazing! 😊👍🌹🌹🌹
90 years old Ms. Rita so beautiful and inspiring and reminds me of my Grandmother
Tell me more about Ms. Rita please. What is her last name and where can I find more about her. She is fascinating.
@@pamelaclay5978her maiden name is Naftal. I’m not sure if she’s was married or if she goes by the last name.
@@pamelaclay5978she is wonderful, I could sit and talk to her all day.
I have been Googling her father, Carl Naftal, and Rita. Not finding much. Would also love to hear more about her life and past and present family.
I am SOOO happy you listened to our feedback after the wonderful interview with the 106 year old woman. These long interviews with the older generations are living history and absolutely incredible to listen to. I think you found a little niche to delve further into!
Totally agree
@@michaelahill44 Totally totally agree!
Completely agree my friend
Rita is a whole smoke show at 90, so beautiful. Pure class, I love listening to her story. We need more of these stories Mark. Please?
So gorgeous and smart!!!
Rita, you're marvelous! Your recollection at 7-9 years old during the war was amazing, especially about your relatiomship with your father, and the telling story of the Germans who lived above you. You're a facinating woman who values your family and career life! Thank you for sharing your story, you're a classy lady! ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
My 102 y/o GMA & is the exact same way👠💄💋 She still goes to the beauty salon every week stating, “Men love the color red b/c it’s sexy.” The inspo for my luxury consignment store & upscale fashion line!❤
My grandmother and her sisters are exactly like her too.. Malibu
The classic generation we can all learn from and inspire to be someday.
I looked up your socials, impressive, followed you 💕
Beautiful. My mom even in her last days always made sure her lipstick was on and her hair coiffed and a nice outfit on. She lived in a personal care home with mostly women and did it for herself to feel put together. This interview was beautiful. And congrats on your store.
Beautiful wonderful woman. ❤so lovely she has her mind… so many elders do not, unfortunately I know this because of my mom whom I live with all my heart. She’s 89
Thank you for another great interview with a classy educated compassionate person. My mother just turned 94 this year, she's still driving, thriving and has fabulous stories about old L.A. that most people have never heard about.
Would love Mark to interview her.
What a striking woman, fabulous features. Her story is really part of American history.
Almost 91!?! No way!!! What an absolutely beautiful and fascinating lady. Such a class act. ❤❤❤
My moms a year older, still doing good like this gal. Depression era kids who knew what hardship and work was all about.
Well guess what, get ready....
She is gorgeous my goodness. Imagine looking that beautiful at 90! Girl I know when she was in her 20s-40s she was probably movie star drop dead gorgeous. I’ve never seen someone look this good at 90 she could still do some type of modeling imo lmao God please bless me like this
She’s beautiful I’m only 71 and wish I looked as wonderful as her!!
🤔
I would rest assured she's had work done. She's a life long Los Angeleno and she does not look anything like any 90 year old I've ever met. Please don't compare yourself to some lady on the internet. I don't know you but i promise you have your OWN beauty.
Smoke & mirrors. Naturally good-looking, sure, but it's 90% makeup at that age.
I'm 72 and my goal is to be like her at 92!
What is it with Americans' obsession with the superficial? Beauty is only skin deep.
There's a lot to be said for maintaining one's appearance into old age, for both ladies and gentlemen.
Amen
I agree! I firmly believe that our outer appearance and how we carry ourselves directly correlates with how others treat us! Love yourself so fiercely that the world knows exactly how you should be loved!
@if_you_only_knew People should treat others based on character, not appearance. Anything else is a backwards mentality.
@@DaiAnanta go teach society that, see how far you get!! My point was to dress for yourself and show the world you deserve nothing less than the best!!
@@DaiAnanta dress and appearance have been a part of the world order for centuries! Caring for yourself includes your outward appearance! You even made sure the details of your animated picture were perfect! Lined up, chain on, clean appearance #nuffsaid!
I met this 85 year old just last week.
I love meeting elderly people because they have so much knowledge!
I love hearing about the old days and even the WW II is extremely fascinating to me.
I asked him what he could remember, if anything, from the war.
He was 6 when it ended and 1 when it started so obviously he was a very young child and didn't remember that much.
He saw it through a child's eyes and he clearly had good parents because he had no trauma from it.
(My father who was only 18 months when the war ended, had trauma from the war. They say children that small can't remember, that's wrong.
Every time he saw an plane in the air growing up he was terrified!
Grandma said he used to cry hysterical every time he heard a plane during the war.
Obviously he's parents had some issues which they past on to him.
No normal one year old is afraid of planes unless they've experienced something traumatic.)
The gentleman told me that the children had been aloud to act and play outside as if everything was normal.
There were a lot of German Soldiers where he lived since they'd built several buildings to house the soldiers just some metres away from his parent's s house.
He also had a memory as of yesterday from the Victory of Europe Day, also called VE Day.
He remembered the English soldiers coming to fight the German occupation.
There was an English plane being shot down just some hundred metres away which he also could remember very clearly.
He found this very intriguing and exiting, he said. He never was afraid.
That shows me how different we are as humans.
My father being that terrified at such a young age, whilst this gentleman wasn't even affected.
I really love listening to this beautiful lady's story, also.
I could listen to people like this endlessly!
I really miss having grandparents.
I was a late baby on both sides of my family; both my late dad and mom were born in 1923 and 1926, respectively; Mom was the 2d youngest of nine. Her dad and mom and her eight siblings all lived past 80, at least 2 made it to 90 or a little past. Thank you, Mark and Rita, for bringing back fond memories of my ancestors (I'm going to be 60 this Nov., btw).
I love your interviews with folk who saw the majority of the 20th Century. Thank you Mark, I feel it is more than important to record and remember their stories , they lived in such a different world than any one born in the 21st Century.
What an elegant lovely lady!!! I’m loving these interviews with these older people. I worked as a CNA for over 20 years and older people just fascinate me!!! There is so much to be learned from them!!! My favorite ones were always ladies like this one. The makeup, the hair the clothes!!! I always enjoyed helping them get ready for their day and listening to them tell their stories as I curled their hair!! I have an entire photo album of pics and their memorial leaflets from their funerals. I’ve lost so many of them down through the years and each time I lost one of them it was like losing my mama!! Not all of them were great but the nasty , mean ones were very few. I had 1 lady that was just filthy rich and mean as a rattlesnake!! I took care of her in her home as a private duty patient and made 3X the money of a nursing home but my god it was worth every cent!! She actually took the cheese outta the fridge and sat on it in her wheelchair because one of the other girls that was staying there ate a piece!!😂😂. It wasn’t because she was raised poor either. She was just incredibly selfish!!!
What memories! I used to love hearing stories from my grandmother who was born in 1904 and lived to be 91.
First of all she is stunning. This is one of my favorite interviews. I love to hear the older generation tell their life stories. I am in awe of her clear and precise memory.
Please keep doing this type of interview. ❤
Good morning, everyone.Have a great day........ Treat People the way you want to be treated
I love this type of interview. Rita and those like her are living encyclopedias.
Yes and now they are getting rid of our books
Rita you're a treasure, I could sit and listen to you telling stories of the era you grew up in. You are very beautiful lady. My father was in the Korean war. He met my mom in England, she was an only daughter and had 2 brothers, but they didn't go to war as my grandfather had a farm. But my mom got married in England and then came to America, I believe that's where I get my independence from. I think she was so brave to leave the only thing she had known her whole life her family and country, to embark on a new beginning. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you & happy 91st birthday 🎂🩷
Beautiful ❤ My dad is 92 going on 93. He grew up in Santa Monica, so did my mom, who is in her 80s. My dad fought in the Korean war. My parents do not like all the changes here in L.A. Neither do I.
Please interview more of the elderly as that wisdom is needed in this modern world!
What a stellar smile !
And you will be back here in 10 years, no doubt about that.
Rita!!! You seem like an incredible human!! I love your voice, I love your style, and I love your story. Thank you for sharing with us. 😊
You remind me so much of my paternal grandmother. Your tenacity. Your elegance and panache. My grandmother like all my grandparents lived through the great depression, WW2 and many other struggles just like you. My paternal grandmother like you is drop dead gorgeous. South Africa is very different and yet very much the same as the USA. Blessings from Sue South Africa ❤
What a beautiful woman. I am 6 minutes into this interview. I am watching her with my zoom on so her face fills up my iPad screen. Her skin is phenomenal.
I bet she was movie star beautiful, and her younger days
@@janiceavila7119 I would love to see pictures from her modeling days. Brains as well as looks.
@@mountaingrandmamathat's 🔥
A remarkable lady. I'm glad Rita is able to communicate and remember things as well as she does. Bless her.
My Father and Mothers birth year..the generation I love and cherished so much. RIP Mom and Dad.
Agree
My dad will be 91 in August. My
Mom was born in 1932 and died in 1985.
I’m always here for your interviews with the elderly folks ❤
Amazing elegant lady. My dad is 97, served in WWII, same generation.
A woman of true wisdom, loved this interview!
As a child and later as an adult, I knew several "contemporaries" of Rita from the Los Angeles of the 1930s. Each was (in their own way) marvelous at telling their stories about those times (and places). The name Earle C. Anthony featured prominently in many of their recollections but the cast of 'other characters' who crossed paths in their lives was immense. Rita is a gem. Thanks for this precious time with her. It was a stroll down memory lane. Bless you Rita.
You sound quite interesting as well I must say😀
Way too many people in the comments focusing on this ladys appearance. Walking through life with a superficial lens is a sure way to miss out on the most important parts. And you have no idea what you've been missing, I promise you.
Because people prefer beauty, as a ugly person I know. I commented on how beautiful she looked, but to be honest she seemed very self centred.
@jemmajames6719 What is beauty? I know what it means to a lot of people, but popular opinion is scarcely anything more than the history of human errors. No one looks ugly to me. Bad character is ugly to me. When I go to a garden, do I only pay attention to one type of plant or flower? Of course not. Nature is full of beauty. It's the differences of each that enhance the picture. People have been programmed to focus on frivolous things, from looks to arts/entertainment to whatever. Fortunately, not everyone everywhere has been poisoned by this ignorance. I have met some wonderful people from around the world who go beyond the surface of things.
You're not ugly. Your beauty is your own. Your body is just a shell. A skin to be shed at a later date. It's not who you are. And if we're not focusing on who people are, then we're doing it all wrong.
@@jemmajames6719I agree. I also find her storytelling confusing: jumping around: how is she selling dresses when FDR was alive? She would have been 12! Of course, she didn’t, but it’s still very confusing.
Of course there's remarks. How many 90 year old do you know that are still holding up and looking great! It doesn't happen very often and we love it!
@@lexiehuselton1145I go beyond the surface. Always have. So I honestly don't care what she looks like. Who someone is...now that matters to me.
I'm glad they have an elder finally talking about WWII. Mark has had older people and they don't really talk about fascinating historical events.
Suprised to see this when I woke up. Good interview so far, had to roll one up with my coffee for this.
I was so lucky to spend the last few years of my grandmother’s life with her, when she needed me. I needed her, more so. She died a few years ago, 2 months shy of her 95th birthday. The people of the silent, and great generation are like no other. So much class you will never see again. Rita, thank you for sharing your life with us. What a beautiful lady. Her makeup, hair, and style is perfection.
What a classy lady full of a lifetime of history! Wishing her many more years of good health and happiness! Great interview, Mark.
What a stunningly gorgeous lady. This is what taking care of yourself all of your life looks like.
I garuntee this lovely woman has never smoked or drank excessively and has eaten a very healthy diet.
She looks better than the strippers interviewed who are a fraction of her age, and God bless her shes extremely sharp.
I hope for her sake she has quite a few yrs left.
Agree- She is a smokeshow! Even her voice sounds much younger than she is. Very inspiring-
Makeup perfection. Clothes perfection. Hair perfection.
Beauty is only skin deep.
It's also that she has a good set of genes that help her 😁
I bet she did smoke though, everyone used to smoke in those days, it was considered classy. I’m sure she drank too. She probably just has a great set of genes.
She looks very well kept to be 90 and I see 20 year olds looking like they are 50!
Right! I just said the same.
You are right . Some of these young people look old even the ones that are in high school look like they are in their 30s.
Drugs, smoking and a poor diet ages you..
Faxx on faxx
Really amazing to hear someone this age that has so much clarity, talk about that time. what a treaure. (Side note we see a president that is younger than her that couldn't hold a conversation like this. 🤦♀️)
This woman is GORGEOUS!!! I wish we could see images of her when she was young. 🥰
She is right ,i feel sorry for young people now ( i’m 67 years old) there are so many rules in place now regarding what you can and can’t say .The scourge of obesity is also present now compared to before . Interesting interview ,what a beautiful lady .
Yes, her comment about more rules really stuck with me.
You can say whatever you want even merry Christmas
Rita. Thank you so very much for your time and your story. Such a remarkable life. I am so pleased you sold those dresses for a small amount over wholesale. You gave so many women happiness which was so needed post war. ❤❤❤
My Great Grandmother Pearl who lived to 102 was like this in her 90's. She would go on road trips up to Seattle with her friends, managed a large flower garden, and was an excellent conversationalist. I miss her.
This woman is beautiful and I could listen to her for hours!! My mom would have been her age if she had lived. Mark please keep interviewing the people of this beautiful generation!!
She's gorgeous!!! Wish her many more years!
real Lady, elegant and sweet. Wish her great health
I hope everyone is listening very carefully to this precious lady....war devastates.
It is fascinating to listen to an "old person's" stories. With all due respect 🙏 mam. She is worldly, has her mind intact, and looks lovely. If God could only grant such longevity and good health to all earthly beings. Bless 🙌 you mam.
Nice change Mark. Ty.❤ you had me at "90yo"
She reminds me so much of my late grandmother who was born in 1929. Miss her so much. This lady is a class act❤
I'll be 52 in 8 days. I'm glad I'm not turning 92, but I would love to have seen what life was like when she was a young lady!!!
Thank you Mark. Rita mentioned getting sent to Long Beach to be taken care of by a nurse. Long Beach was beautiful in 1956 and 57 when my Uncle lived there. He had a actor who lived behind him. My uncle was a professor and taught at UCLA. You asked Rita what happened when WW11 ended. We livevin Philadelphia Pa. When the Flyers, Philly hockey team won their first Stanly Cup, in 1974, millions of people went to center city to celebrate. My mom saw that crowd and said " wow, I have not seen so many people in the streets since the second world War ended". You asked Rita, how has the world changed. Well, my mom born in 1926, died in 1981😢😢. She thought the Rolling Stones song, " I can't get no satisfaction " was to bad to be on the radio. LOL Things have changed very much since Rita and my mom were young 😊
I'm enjoying this interview so much! What a beautiful lady who reminisces about her life so articulately.
I have to say she is quite lovely and a very beautiful woman. Btw…Joel Grey is still alive and had his 91st birthday recently. he was just in Wicked on broadway and his daughter is Jennifer Grey of Dirty dancing and ferris bullers day off. I think Rita and Joel should have a reunion of sorts, to say hello to one another and reminisce.. 😊
this is just amazing.. a real person .. no drama.. just real ..GOD BLESS

Thank you . I have worked in health care all my life and meeting people and learning about them, espcially the older ones has been nothing short of a genuine gift. I have met a man who was on the first attack of Normandy and so many others. Our stories are all so similar…. Fighting to survive , love and be happy. Grandchildren are the second greatest gifts.
My dad is 80. He has told me stories for the last 4 years... I am going to begin recording them like this....I have a lot to learn at 48.
Phenomenal woman. Beautiful and classy. Great interview. She has a good memory. Would love to watch more interviews with older people.
This entire episode was captivating from the second I started watching till the very end I felt like I lived all through those years with her what an amazing story thank you for posting this my mom recently passed and I have wonderful memories I wish more people would take the time to listen to the older Generations this was great thank you for posting it
I'm 53 and she looks better than I do.
I’m loving the elder interviews. It’s what I miss about working in nursing homes
Rita was lovely to listen to. Very different than my own 95 year old mother views on w.w..2. She spoke more like my father’s side of the family. I sure hope I have as many marbles at that age. lol
Yet I shouldn’t fear that. My mom lives alone in a new home because her previous home burned to the ground while she was in it. At 89 she punched her way through her bedroom window to flee the fire , and since then has fractured her leg and pretty much up until recently ran our 3600 acre ranch with little help. CALI GALS RULE!
It’s true about California ladies, I have many relatives from there. Lovely, gracious women. They all looked gorgeous into their 80’s.
Dear Rita,
Thank you for sharing some of your life story. You are a beautiful and sharp woman. You have a life well lived.
You show us youngers how to age gracefully. I am happy to know that you have four daughters that love you and have your best care in mind.
Be well. Be Blessed.
Know that you are loved 🥰
Of course she never had prbms getting work - she is gorgeous! And they say attractive ppl more easily find emplyment. In her case, I say great. The lady is so honest, I love listening to her and deserves all/any breaks she got. (My mom was kind of the same as hers: depressed, slept alot, didn't drive. You just have to roll like a battle tank over your hurts. This lady shows it pays to do so.) Many more years to her!
thank you for sharing this beautiful woman’s story and journey. Our society has lost its sense of a healthy connection with our elderly community. This connection has to be respected and appreciated. Most of our youth today don’t even respect their parents, let alone their grandparents or older siblings and elders.
Agreed....but who’s Ed? LoL
Agreed. I'm 72, and I'd give anything to be able to talk to my parents and grandparents again, now that I'm old enough to have a single clue what questions to ask and how to listen!
@@Day-ZDuke lol 😂 I made a mistake
@@stevenmcbride9773 haha all good bro, I figured
But again I totally agree with your sentiments here. There is so much value that can be taken from the wisdom of our elders. & the lack of respect among the youth today is sad and disappointing
@@Day-ZDuke yeah I just don’t understand how it’s gotten so everyone under 35 or younger thinks that getting older is this terrible thing and it’s been demonized on social media and certain groups or platforms online. When it’s truly a beautiful thing to grow old and it’s something everyone of us is going to go through one day.
I love these interviews with almost century-old people. Living history! More please.
Beautiful lady. I can’t imagine how beautiful she was at 30.
This is a generation that sadly is coming to an end. My mother is 92, and carries herself much like Rita. I admire the strength, beauty, and perseverance of women in that generation. Rita, you're amazing! Thank you for sharing your story.
She reminds me of my nana. Very put-together, well spoken. Loved this.
She looks really good.💜 The older dolls can teach some women some things about femininity.
I love interviews with older people. They have so much experience and wisdom! Please do more like this!
I love the old stories. . Because I can’t ask my mum or dad anymore .. they’re passed now ❤
She’s quite the fashion plate and began the passion of design at a young age. Go Rita! You’re never too old to dress as you please. What a story. Thank you, Mark! 😉
What a beautiful young lady. We should all be so lucky.
No no, she looks like June Lockhart. From lost in space. 1960s.
Each interview is uniquely special but I must say, I’m loving these lifespan type. They’re such a joy to listen to. Please keep them coming.
Please, please, please do more stories like this. This woman is an absolute treasure and her stories and experiences deserve to be heard.
