Resilience, reinvention and relevance: For octogenarian Agota Gabor, that’s what survival is all about. Her astounding life journey—from ballet dancing in her native Hungary and her battle with polio; to fleeing a revolution and becoming a glamorous showgirl; to studying  journalism and launching a career as a TV producer; to starting a PR company, which she runs to this day— Agota's unconventional path is a testament to the power of positivity. Her new memoir, Forever On Pointe, is an adventure story with a vital message about guts and tenacity. Jeanne talks with the indefatigable author about navigating life’s stormy waters with grace and aplomb and what it takes to just keep on going, no matter what.
