All I can say is my life did not really begin until I was 50. Because then all this stuff stopped, and only then was I free to be the outgoing, friendly person that I am.

I don't wear make-up and keep my hair short. Had enough of this stuff, of this trauma. Being a young woman isn't what it's put up to be in the ads and movies.
