The Swayze Year: You're Not Old, You're Just Getting Started!

The Swayze Year celebrates later-in-life wins with short profiles of one person for every year from age 35 to age 100 who climbed mountains--metaphorical and literal--wrote their own storylines, and found their happy little trees at a more mature age. With wit, humor, and warmth, The Swayze Year proves that no matter how old you are, you're not done yet. Featured profiles include:

• Toni Morrison published her debut novel, The Bluest Eye, at age 39
• At 41, Bob Ross became the beloved host of The Joy of Painting
• Judi Dench first achieved international fame for her role in Goldeneye at age 61
• At 84, Iris Apfel and her unique style were showcased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art
• Pinetop Perkins became the oldest person to win a Grammy at age 97
