Dolores Robinson Is The Only Octogenarian Living Her Best Life Ever

Imagine, growing up without running water outside of Philadelphia and then, as an adult, finding yourself managing the careers of such Hollywood luminaries as Martin Sheen, Mark Wahlburg and Pierce Brosnan. And being on speaking terms with US Presidents, everyone from Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama. Dolores Robinson, Executive producer, talent manager, reality TV star and mother of season two guest, Holly Robinson Peete, took her two kids and moved to Los Angeles three decades ago, and made a name for herself as one of the most prolific managers in the biz. But what if one day, just after your 71st birthday, you got a diagnosis that other people might consider to be the beginning of the end? Would you start planning for your inevitable demise? Or would you kick those gloomy notions to the curb and decide to live your best life ever?
