Klara Madlin was a clothing designer. In the 1980's when she was 35 years old she bought a brownstone with another designer. They proceeded to coop the building. She lost her job and was standing on a scaffold painting the ceiling when her partner said "did you ever notice that there are no designers over 40 unless their husbands own the company?"  Not until now she answered, and went to call her broker who admitted to being 80 years old.  Ruth, she asked, " how long have you been doing this?" 20 years was the answer. "You mean you started at 60?" Yes, Ruth answered.  The rest is history......
