Wow.
In 1955 that is when life, apparently, ended (for women). And all those women looked like they were in their late sixties and seventies.

Today, I know some 56 year olds that out-walk, run and out-think me by miles ... One runs her own business and the other goes to 24 hour fitness every other day and looks fab. We are involve in charity work and have a great time on weekends just gabbing away, going to movies and living life.

How times change!

My grandmother was born in 1891, and was sixty-three the year I was born. She was an elderly lady. My wife is now sixty-three, and she's fit, works full-time, and looks like she's in her forties. People aged faster in the old days. They also groomed themselves and dressed the way they believed was "appropriate" for their age.

All the smoking definitely didn’t help.
