Millie

Wisconsin

Millie is the older sister of a friend. She was in town (she lives near LA) last year and we met for dinner. The lighting was very harsh and I couldn't use flash, so please forgive the blown highlights.
The good news is that Millie has just celebrated her 99th birthday this July. She was a mere 98 years old in this photo. She is a wonder!!! She's getting ready for the big 100th bash next summer. ...Good health, sharp wit and sharp as a tack...that's Millie!

She doesn't look near her age. I think she has quite a few more years to go. She is a beautiful woman!

99 years young, well I must admit she looks no where near that.
Good luck and health to Millie.
A wonderful shot Cindy.

LOL. Actually... I would have guessed. But it would have been something like 39. :-)

Thanks Bob and Terry.

Lovely portrait... and I would have been decades
off if I tried to guess her age, which I would never
do. Truly an inspiration.

Wow, impressive, and what a wonderful informal portrait. She is amazing!
I love the b&w!

How many of us are going to be flying across the country at 98 years old? Millie is a firecracker and a great inspiration. Her brother is close to 20 years younger and she calls him "the old man".

Extraordinary, Cindy.
Such alert eyes. An inspiration to us all.
Wonderful photograh

Ohhh, the thoughts behind those eyes.
She certainly looks 15 years younger than her age, Cindy.
Really like this portrait of her, and actually like the highlights: they add to the effect by the effect they have on her hair.
