This laterlife...13

  • ‘If you live to be 90 in England and can still eat a boiled egg, they think you deserve the Nobel Prize.’ Quote attributed to Alan Bennett

  • Mary Wesley was 70 when she published her first novel. Penelope Lively began writing when in her fifties. And recently journalist Norman Lebrecht received an award for publishing his first novel at the age of 54.

  • Artist Lucian Freud is said to earn more than Britain’s most successful pop star Robbie Williams. What’s extra special about Freud is that he is aged 80 and at the peak of his powers according to the curator of the Tate. 

  • There’s more to retirement than golf, playing the stock market and drinking, says 83-year-old Donald Regan, former chief of staff of President Ronald Reagan. Several years ago, finding himself bored, he took up landscape painting and now is selling well and apparently developing a fine reputation as an artist.
