Product Description The legendary actress and singer--still shapely and fresh from a Tony Award nomination at age 73--shares her secrets on aging with style and staying healthy and vibrant in both body and mind. Read by the author. From Library Journal Singer, actress, and Broadway star Kitt (I'm Still Here) was born out of wedlock in poverty in South Carolina in 1928. In this part memoir, part exercise manual she shares, in her own distinctive voice, "fundamental ways of being, thinking, and doing" that have kept her productive, content, and free of the fear of getting old. She accepts aging as a natural process; she never yearned to stay young. Kitt chronicles her distinguished career's ups and downs: her outspoken remarks on the Vietnam War at a White House luncheon hosted by First Lady Ladybird Johnson in 1968 and subsequent blacklisting; her concerts, TV appearances, and best-selling recordings; her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame; and her various affairs. Kitt also offers deep breathing instructions and stretching exercises and encourages listeners to make a commitment to taking care of themselves. Highly recommended for most public libraries.
