The oldest recorded individual may have been Jeanne Louise Calment, born in Arles, France on February 21, 1875, who died at age 122 on August 4, 1997.

Her father lived to be 94 and her mother lived to the age of 86, so genes may have contributed to her longevity. She rode a bicycle until the age of 100.

The longest-lived humans before Ms Calment were Shigechiyo Izumi, who lived to be at least 105, and Carrie White, who was 116 when she passed away.Interesting facts about Jeanne Louise Calment

Quote: In life, one sometimes makes bad deals.

The notary public, Andre-Francois Raffray purchased her apartment and promised to pay $500 per month until Jeanne died. Before dying in December of 1995, he paid twice the market value of the apartment.

Quote on her 120th birthday: I took pleasure when I could. I acted clearly and morally and without regret. I'm very lucky.

Jeanne Calment published a CD and a VCR tape titled "Maitresse du Temps".
