Long before it became a political issue there have always been late-in-life achievers, people past and present who peaked when they could have been puttering—breaking out as writers, selling out concert halls, attempting to set land-speed records—and in the case of one ninety-year tortoise, becoming a first-time father. (Take that, Al Pacino!)
Join CBS Sunday morning correspondent, bestselling author, humorist and history buff Mo Rocca and Emmy award winning actress Candice (Murphy Brown) Bergen as they discuss Mo’s new book Roctogenarians: Late in Life Debuts, Comebacks, and Triumphs which serves as a cautionary tale against using age as the basis to disqualify anyone from anything and celebrates the triumphs of people who made their biggest marks late in life!
