This collection of amazing profiles includes Henri Matisse (who began work on his celebrated cut-outs when he could no longer paint), Rita Moreno (the EGOT who’s still got it), Mary Church Terrell (who at eighty-six helped lead sit-ins to de-segregate lunch counters in the 1950s), Peter Mark Roget (who began working on his thesaurus in his twenties and completed it at seventy-three) and many others.
