Irma Kurtz was born in New Jersey, grew up in New York, moved to Paris and finally came to London. In 1970, she joined Cosmopolitan magazine as its first Agony Aunt. Now in her seventies, she has written About Time in which she explores many aspects, both positive and negative, of growing old. She tells Jenni why she thinks attitudes towards growing old now are different to what our grandparents, or even our parents experienced.
