I'd be happy to be just standing at her age.

Joan and I are about the same age. I'll be 80 this year. She has difficulties with her back, as I do also. It's hard to stand up straight and remain active when you're older and suffering with your back, hips, whatever. Those of you who want to make a bit of fun over someone older can only hope to reach this age one day. Many are denied that privilege.

Some people age more gracefully than others, and others still bear the scars of difficulties that began in childhood. Joan is doing an amazing job at her age, considering her back issues, and needs a lot of credit for keeping so active in her condition - not just at her age. She'll never be a favorite of mine, but I truly respect her for her energy and drive.

I agree, she does great for her age, she's a real dynamo. Dresses divine, only wish she weren't so critical on her show.

If I have half her energy and stamina at 80 I'll be happy!

You couldn't keep up with her on your best day with those two artificial knees of yours, so lighten up. I suppose you have perfect posture related to your perfect diet.

She is old. Geriatric, anything you call it. That's a fact. You don't sugar coat it. You only have so long of a life span, and she using it up.

I'm guessing you were not the winner of any congeniality competitions, right?

And that was true. Not a cute baby at all Smiley Sad sad. .

Those make comments like this don't even realize the harm that they're doing....it's hurtful, not helpful, to anyone. (Then they'll say it's just 'opinions'....baloney!)

I can't believe there are so many 'perfect' ones out there who take pleasure in commenting like this on others, whether it be their body, hair, mannerisms, clothing, you name it....nothing stops them. Kind of evil, I'd say.

She has always stood and walked like that, its no big deal. She does great for her age, she is more active most of us much younger!

Agree it's probably osteoporosis. Kudos to her for staying so active and involved. Some things money can't buy.

</ I don't think that's true at all, I think she's a little doll. Have you seen pics of her lately?
