50 Portraits and Interviews by Debbie Rowe & Tracey Larcombe
50 over 50 is an inspirational and life-affirming book, which will stir the imaginations of women about to turn 50, as well as those who are already there and beyond. It will also encourage younger women, who may be less than convinced that there is life after the age of 50, to think again.
It features the stories and portraits of 50 amazing women over 50 – known and unknown from all over the world, and from all walks of life – from politicians to film stars, lifeboat crew to space explorers, scientists to aid workers. It looks at their lives and experiences, their views on being over 50, their achievements and their philosophy of life. Included amongst these extraordinary women are Angela Baker, one of the original Calendar Girls; actress and anti-war campaigner, Susan Sarandon; former brothel madam, Cynthia Paine; six times Olympian, Anne Abernathy, known as ‘Grandma Luge’; farmers’ match-maker, Patricia Warren; fashion designer, Zandra Rhodes; long distance swimmer, Carol Sing; Spitfire pilot, Carolyn Grace: Cinema legend and founder of WAIF/Operation Children, Jane Russell; Diana Princess of Wales’ psychic, Sally Morgan: ex-Mafia wife and Hollywood stunt driver, Georgia Durante; Arctic and Antarctic Explorer, Pom Oliver; and round-the-world solo runner, Rosie Swale Pope.
