Hmmm....anybody out there?

Clue:

She was my grandmother's role model!

Jeanne Calment was the world's oldest living human. She passed away in 1997.

That could be when Princess Diana died. I'm pretty sure it was August and around '97. She was 36 when she died, and her birthday, I believe is July 6th?? (She was a Cancer

. It think it was also on a Sat. night because I went out around midnight after I heard.

I looked it up after I posted to see if I was right.
I'm not.

She was born on June 29th and did die in Aug 1997, but on the 31st, not the 7th.

I mean the 4th. Ooops!!

SolRaven · 02-14-2011, 07:30 PM

Ooops! her bday was wrong too!! That's what happens when you skim an article. July 1st was her bday.

So, back to August 4th, 1997?? I can't recall what happened, but I remember there was a big event a few weeks before Diana died; her death over shadowed it later in the month.

Oh Oh Oh - is this Mother Teresa's real name?

She died the same year as Princess Di
