As a ... ahem... more mature male, I was gratified to see a piece on naturally beautiful older women. We still seem to worship youth so it is nice to see the other end of the spectrum recognized.

Carmen Dell'Orefice just blows my mind, she looks amazing!!! I was so sorry to see she was one of Bernie Madoff's victims, but her attitude to losing all her life's savings?
"he took my money, not my life- I can still work"

She is alllllll class.

Whoa! I'm not sure I could be that philosophical. I wonder what her initial reaction was???

To be honest Alt, she was a very close friend to Bernie and his family for years; so close that she attended his children's bar mitzvah's, etc. Her initial reaction was one of incredible hurt, shock and betrayal, because, like many of Bernie's victims, she trusted him with her life.
