Sally Jessy Raphael is as feisty and amazing as ever.
When he spoke to people to celebrate to be 90 years old and the wonderful life she continues to live, the veteran journalist opened to visit Paris with friends as part of Milestone Birthday festivities.
“We went to Paris, my favorite city. And I went to my old homes. I will not tell them what they are for then they would be everyone’s old haunts,” she says with a laugh.
“But we had a very good time. We went to two or three museums and not much shopping. I was with two women. I should actually have gone with a man because it is romantic, but I went with two women. So it was good.”
“It’s really interesting to be 90 because if you dye your hair and you have no veins in your legs, people say you look young,” she continues. “And it’s always nice as people say, even though they think it looks young when you can claim 90 is beyond me, but they think it’s a compliment.”

She acknowledged the privilege that comes with 90 and continued, “I think it has to do with the word” sweet. “You’re cute when you’re young, and for a long time you are not sweet.
Raphael’s Instagram, which looks back at some of her most epic career moments while fans are updated on what’s new in her world, proves that she is doing better than most in the media landscape.
“It’s a way to keep in touch with people I care about. When you are 90, you have some privileges. People tend to listen to you a little more. You get a wheelchair at the airport, but it is doubtful because they sometimes dump you where you do not want to be dumped and do not take you where you want to go, so you have to be careful.
“When you are 90, (people) don’t think you have sex. I guess most people don’t think a person 90 would have sex, but they think so. That’s as I saw it Doctor Odyssey thing on cougars. Cougars are always 50- to a 30-year-old, 50 woman, 30 men. When you are 90 woman to a 70 man, you are not a cougar. You’re a lion, I guess. ”
While Raphael is not stranger to the dating scene, she is happy to report: “I have been satisfied with someone.”
“But there are many men out there. The women who say they are not interested in a man as they get older, they like their freedom. I think they are lying,” she continues. “I think it is because they do not want to make the effort. It requires an effort to find someone.”
Whether it’s just a friend or a romantic interest, Raphael reveals in the fact that at 90: “You really have no one to please.”
“You don’t care what you wear. You can wear anything. You don’t care what you say. You can say anything,” she says. “Not caring about people and what they think is the best to grow older.”

With a lively personal life, Raphael is also happy to keep his professional life going and admit: “I always look for work.”
Raphael was the first woman hosting an audience participation, release show-show-procedure Oprah Winfrey with almost three years.
Sally Jessy Raphael -Showlater shortened to ResultStarted in 1983, covering topics for human interests and hard-hit news, but it developed in recent years in daily stories about featuring relationships or sexual exploits to compete with shock tactics that dominated the market in the 1990s.
Today, Raphael says that there is a challenge in the fact that producers show concern that “they cannot assure you, or they worry about insure you.”
“But they worried me about assuring me when I was 60, so it would have been 30 years without worrying,” she points out. “That’s their problem.”
“The thing is that you are better in other countries than you are here. Recently I was in London and I beat the morning news and morning shows, all the women were my age, and there were lots of them,” says Raphael.
“You come here, and everyone in the morning shows are young. So what happens is that we do not have much respect for experience or wisdom. The word wisdom in China or any place that is quite old, it is completely out of style. Power is in style, but wisdom is out of style.”
