She was too mean to die.
First key be wealthy
Healthy, wealthy and wise...............
Wealth is a double edged sword. On the positive you probably live in a lower crime area, get medical and dental care, have enough to eat, and have clean drinking water. I’d rather be wealthy.
But as we see with the kids of the rich, having access to all you want and the money and time to self indulge you tend to self destruct.
Mo’ Money Mo’ Problems
There’s also a theory that she was a fraud. A daughter assumed her identity to keep getting her pension and apartment.
One of my grandmothers lived to be 106 and she had some similarities with the French lady.
She was athletic and her favorite hobby was dancing.
She married young to a man who later became reasonably wealthy.
She never worked—had a live in maid/cook take care of her home.
Most folks thought she was dumb because nothing ever seemed to bother her—she always had a positive attitude and a smile on her face.
In fact she was highly intelligent—but never let the fools or jerks get her down.
I talk about her often—her one piece of advice to me was “never believe anything you see on TV”.
She thought mass media were evil liars and she just ignored them.
Just think, she might have lived to be 125 had she never started smoking!.....................
She picked up the slack for Keith Richards, after he quit smoking.
I don’t see any mention in the luck of the draw in genes.
How long did her grandparents live I wonder.
Yup, escaping the horrors of nursing homes....
The strange thing is that I read she started smoking at age 21 and did not quite until five years before her death. That article was posted a week or so ago. So I seriously question the statements made in this article. Sounds like more MSM propaganda. She is said to have smoked only 2 to 3 per day after meals.
One of my grandmother’s secrets was she never got sick enough or injured enough to go to the hospital.
If you can manage to stay away from the “experts” your life expectancy gets a big positive jump.
She did smoke cigarettes and drink liquor in moderation—a couple of cigarettes a day and a drink after dinner.
“She was discovering this fascinating world at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth century.”

Talk about being born at the right time. Imagine being a wealthy young person during the fin de siecle as they call it, and being able to live it up and soak it in. If I had a time machine, that would be one of my first stops.
My father-in-law died two years ago at age 85+, smoked practically his whole life...................
Sounds like a fabulous woman
The anti-smoking “experts” refuse to differentiate between having a cigarette or two a day vs a pack or two a day.
In the real world that makes a big difference—and most people are entirely capable of controlling their “addiction” to nicotine.
