According to the information we received here at the Perspective Research Department the oldest living person in history was a French woman called Geraldine Dubois.
She lived to the ripe old age of 122 years and 4 months!
After numerous attempts to get a more complete picture of what this woman was like..., (since she lived in the majority of both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries) we pulled a few strings to get this picture of Geraldine about an hour after she died..., and was waiting to be processed for entry to the Pearly Gates!
You don't think they would tell a 122-year-old woman that she wasn't allowed to smoke..., do you?
