“Doctors tell me I have the health and fitness levels of a very fit 20-year-old. But for much of my 20s, I was overweight and would binge eat,” Norma says.

“My energy levels have increased exponentially over the past 50 years. And that’s what drives me to live the way I do now.”

“I’ve always denied there is any such thing as ‘old age.’ I continue to improve every year and see no reason why I shouldn’t achieve my dreams,” she added.

“If you retire and do nothing further with your life, that’s like putting one foot in the grave. It’s important to retain a spirit of adventure and to understand what’s going on in today’s world.”

While she’s not getting any younger, Norma admitted strangers are often confused when she tells them how old she is. She also insisted she has no plans on slowing down because she feels better and better with each passing day.

“My ultimate dream is to walk the Milan catwalk. Why can’t I strut my stuff alongside 17-year-old beauties without having the obligatory white hair?” she concluded.
