Hunter Kemper: Family Man

America's top triathlete has his sights set on his fourth Olympics in 2012, but this time, he'll be competing for more than his country and himself.

Meet Elli Fordyce

Born and bred in Manhattan, entertainer Elli Fordyce lives by the motto "it's never too late." In an interview with Growing Bolder, she says, "The old adage is that insanity is doing the same stuff and expecting different results. I've done a lot of different stuff, particularly in the past three years, and a lot of new results have shown up, and at a ripe age which made them more surprising."

But she has faced challenges.

"Earlier I made many choices which didn't lead to what I thought I wanted. One example was at 18 marrying someone with whom it turned out I was a poor fit and who didn't want me to sing in public anymore. I chose to stop pursuing my seedling career "out of deference to my husband" but did so as much because I was afraid I wasn't good enough for success. That mentality was my biggest challenge at which I've been chipping away for 65 years since first getting the notion I couldn't sing well enough."

That's not a problem now! Elli turns 72 in March and says she's focused on the future, which includes more acting, more recording -- and lots of living life to the fullest.
