Where is a list of famous old people who had great accomplishments in their old age?

Answer 1

There may not be one location, but I found a number of websites devoted to the achievements of older people in the US (and I assume there are similar sites for other countries). One older American who had many achievements even in his later years was New Jersey senator Frank Lautenberg, a World War II veteran who served five terms in the US senate, and was still serving when he died at age 89. I enclose a link to an article about "late bloomers," which includes mention of a number of older people from numerous countries. These include such achievers as Americans Harriet Doerr (the award-winning author who first published when she was 74); artist Grandma Moses (who began painting when in her 70s); and from other countries, Oscar Swahn (a Swedish Olympic medalist in marksmanship who won his final medal at age 72); and Portuguese director Manoel de Oliveira (who became a full-time filmmaker at 73).
