As a matter of interest does anyone know who the oldest ever 'famous' person is ? Swami must be pretty close to it by now ! I think Alexander Imich , who died at 111 and 4 months was the oldest ever famous man,(and also the oldest man on the planet at the time of his death ) , but I'm not sure about the oldest woman. It might be Ruby Muhammad who is reported to have been just short of 114 when she died, but that's unverified so she might have been a lot  younger.

Leila Denmark was the oldest notable person outside longevity.

 

Muhammad was 103.

[Life Is Beautiful 716]

Well, technically, Narcissus of Jerusalem is the oldest notable person outside of longevity.  But having lived in the 2nd century, I'm not sure if he counts as well in this. Let's say Leila Denmark is the oldest "modern" celebrity ever.

 

On another note, Japanese PM Yasuhiro Yakasone turns 100 today and is still looking fantastic! Made a powerful statement about Japan's Constitution this morning.

Another name worth mentioning: Hatsuno Goto (1 September 1903 - 15 May 2017), who became an oil painter later in life and held exhibitions of her works well into her hundreds. She also wrote her autobiography at 111. The top 2 pictures are from exhibitions when she was 107 and the bottom 2 are of her at 111. Even shortly before she died at 113, she still looked 92 tops.

Longetivity of Christian saints is a myth, just like many other things from their lives. There is no proof that they were so old.
