@RL_Dane «Her profile increased during the centennial of Vincent van Gogh's move to Arles, which occurred from February 1888 to April 1889 when she was 13–14 years old. Calment claimed to reporters that she had met Van Gogh at that time, introduced to him by her (future) husband in her uncle's fabric shop. She remembered the meeting as a disappointment, and described him as ugly and "very disagreeable", adding that he "reeked of alcohol".»

That's amazing :D
Reminds me of my grandmother (recently) telling me that she met the famous Azerbaijani/Russian singer Rashid Behbudov (1915-1989) as a young lady. She said she was excited to meet him, but the excitement vanished pretty quickly when she heard him singing *really* ribald songs. :D
My grandmother is 101. :)
