Photograph article dated October 27, 1960 partially reads, "Mrs. Lentye P. Smythe is a North Hollywood great-great-grandmother who believes - with considerable justification - she has found the key to a longer life... On Dec. 1 Mrs. Smythe will officially reach her 90th birthday. But she attaches minimum significance to it. 'They say you're as old as you feel, and I don't feel very old.' Her advice to others who want to stay young at heart, if not in years: 'Anybody who wants to grow old should keep busy. Then you don't have time to think about your age.'"
