I love your interviews with folk who saw the majority of the 20th Century. Thank you Mark, I feel it is more than important to record and remember their stories , they lived in such a different world than any one born in the 21st Century.

I met this 85 year old just last week. I love meeting elderly people because they have so much knowledge! I love hearing about the old days and even the WW II is extremely fascinating to me. I asked him what he could remember, if anything, from the war. He was 6 when it ended and 1 when it started so obviously he was a very young child and didn't remember that much. He saw it through a child's eyes and he clearly had good parents because he had no trauma from it. (My father who was only 18 months when the war ended, had trauma from the war. They say children that small can't remember, that's wrong. Every time he saw an plane in the air growing up he was terrified! Grandma said he used to cry hysterical every time he heard a plane during the war. Obviously he's parents had some issues which they past on to him. No normal one year old is afraid of planes unless they've experienced something traumatic.) The gentleman told me that the children had been aloud to act and play outside as if everything was normal. There were a lot of German Soldiers where he lived since they'd built several buildings to house the soldiers just some metres away from his parent's s house. He also had a memory as of yesterday from the Victory of Europe Day, also called VE Day. He remembered the English soldiers coming to fight the German occupation. There was an English plane being shot down just some hundred metres away which he also could remember very clearly. He found this very intriguing and exiting, he said. He never was afraid. That shows me how different we are as humans. My father being that terrified at such a young age, whilst this gentleman wasn't even affected. I really love listening to this beautiful lady's story, also. I could listen to people like this endlessly! I really miss having grandparents.

She is gorgeous my goodness. Imagine looking that beautiful at 90! Girl I know when she was in her 20s-40s she was probably movie star drop dead gorgeous. I’ve never seen someone look this good at 90 she could still do some type of modeling imo lmao God please bless me like this

What an elegant lovely lady!!! I’m loving these interviews with these older people. I worked as a CNA for over 20 years and older people just fascinate me!!! There is so much to be learned from them!!! My favorite ones were always ladies like this one. The makeup, the hair the clothes!!! I always enjoyed helping them get ready for their day and listening to them tell their stories as I curled their hair!! I have an entire photo album of pics and their memorial leaflets from their funerals. I’ve lost so many of them down through the years and each time I lost one of them it was like losing my mama!! Not all of them were great but the nasty , mean ones were very few. I had 1 lady that was just filthy rich and mean as a rattlesnake!! I took care of her in her home as a private duty patient and made 3X the money of a nursing home but my god it was worth every cent!! She actually took the cheese outta the fridge and sat on it in her wheelchair because one of the other girls that was staying there ate a piece!!😂😂. It wasn’t because she was raised poor either. She was just incredibly selfish!!!

Really amazing to hear someone this age that has so much clarity, talk about that time. what a treaure. (Side note we see a president that is younger than her that couldn't hold a conversation like this. 🤦‍♀️)

I'm glad they have an elder finally talking about WWII. Mark has had older people and they don't really talk about fascinating historical events.

Amazing elegant lady. My dad is 97, served in WWII, same generation.

My Great Grandmother Pearl who lived to 102 was like this in her 90's. She would go on road trips up to Seattle with her friends, managed a large flower garden, and was an excellent conversationalist. I miss her.

As a child and later as an adult, I knew several "contemporaries" of Rita from the Los Angeles of the 1930s. Each was (in their own way) marvelous at telling their stories about those times (and places). The name Earle C. Anthony featured prominently in many of their recollections but the cast of 'other characters' who crossed paths in their lives was immense. Rita is a gem. Thanks for this precious time with her. It was a stroll down memory lane. Bless you Rita.

@jemmajames6719 What is beauty? I know what it means to a lot of people, but popular opinion is scarcely anything more than the history of human errors. No one looks ugly to me. Bad character is ugly to me. When I go to a garden, do I only pay attention to one type of plant or flower? Of course not. Nature is full of beauty. It's the differences of each that enhance the picture. People have been programmed to focus on frivolous things, from looks to arts/entertainment to whatever. Fortunately, not everyone everywhere has been poisoned by this ignorance. I have met some wonderful people from around the world who go beyond the surface of things. You're not ugly. Your beauty is your own. Your body is just a shell. A skin to be shed at a later date. It's not who you are. And if we're not focusing on who people are, then we're doing it all wrong.

My next door neighbors who I grew up with still living the same home and I can still speak with them. One of them is 92 and the other is 93. They both know everything that's going on and remember many many many things. I am so blessed. Well listening to you again I'm reminded I'm not afraid to get old. Right now I'm 65.

Wonderful to hear Rita's stories! Mark, I'm so happy for you to have sponsorship now!!! Congrats 🥳

I'm 53 and she looks better than I do.

I love interviews with older people. They have so much experience and wisdom! Please do more like this!

Thank you SO MUCH for this interview. It’s a very different story than the usual videos. I am so grateful to hear her story and wisdom. I’m always looking to elders like her for their story and try to learn from them.

thank you for sharing this beautiful woman’s story and journey. Our society has lost its sense of a healthy connection with our elderly community. This connection has to be respected and appreciated. Most of our youth today don’t even respect their parents, let alone their grandparents or older siblings and elders.

Agreed. I'm 72, and I'd give anything to be able to talk to my parents and grandparents again, now that I'm old enough to have a single clue what questions to ask and how to listen!

@@stevenmcbride9773 haha all good bro, I figured But again I totally agree with your sentiments here. There is so much value that can be taken from the wisdom of our elders. & the lack of respect among the youth today is sad and disappointing

@@Day-ZDuke yeah I just don’t understand how it’s gotten so everyone under 35 or younger thinks that getting older is this terrible thing and it’s been demonized on social media and certain groups or platforms online. When it’s truly a beautiful thing to grow old and it’s something everyone of us is going to go through one day.

WTF she Looks better than me with 46 🤣 Classy!

I'll be 52 in 8 days. I'm glad I'm not turning 92, but I would love to have seen what life was like when she was a young lady!!!

Thank you Mark. Rita mentioned getting sent to Long Beach to be taken care of by a nurse. Long Beach was beautiful in 1956 and 57 when my Uncle lived there. He had a actor who lived behind him. My uncle was a professor and taught at UCLA. You asked Rita what happened when WW11 ended. We livevin Philadelphia Pa. When the Flyers, Philly hockey team won their first Stanly Cup, in 1974, millions of people went to center city to celebrate. My mom saw that crowd and said " wow, I have not seen so many people in the streets since the second world War ended". You asked Rita, how has the world changed. Well, my mom born in 1926, died in 1981😢😢. She thought the Rolling Stones song, " I can't get no satisfaction " was to bad to be on the radio. LOL Things have changed very much since Rita and my mom were young 😊

I'm still watching this one. What a great interview! I absolutely love her!

Great interview, she looks fab! I would love to see past pictures from her life

this is just amazing.. a real person .. no drama.. just real ..GOD BLESS Soft White Underbelly at 5.52M subscribers on the 1st of June 2024

I love the old stories. . Because I can’t ask my mum or dad anymore .. they’re passed now ❤

My dad is 80. He has told me stories for the last 4 years... I am going to begin recording them like this....I have a lot to learn at 48.

Dear Rita, Thank you for sharing some of your life story. You are a beautiful and sharp woman. You have a life well lived. You show us youngers how to age gracefully. I am happy to know that you have four daughters that love you and have your best care in mind. Be well. Be Blessed. Know that you are loved 🥰

Rita was lovely to listen to. Very different than my own 95 year old mother views on w.w..2. She spoke more like my father’s side of the family. I sure hope I have as many marbles at that age. lol Yet I shouldn’t fear that. My mom lives alone in a new home because her previous home burned to the ground while she was in it. At 89 she punched her way through her bedroom window to flee the fire , and since then has fractured her leg and pretty much up until recently ran our 3600 acre ranch with little help. CALI GALS RULE!

It’s true about California ladies, I have many relatives from there. Lovely, gracious women. They all looked gorgeous into their 80’s.

Rita is so beautiful she doesn’t like 90 and she looks great. This was a great interview mark . I hope you have another one with her. I enjoy the senior interviews and she knew her history.

Please continue to interview our elders! I love listening to their knowledge and life experience. Thank you mark!
