When we reach the age of 20, our preoccupation lies in the thoughts others have about us. By the time we turn 40, we no longer concern ourselves with their opinions. And as we reach 60, we come to realize that they haven’t been contemplating us at all.
The statement about age’s significance was not originally attributed to Ann Landers.
In March, we disproved a Facebook post that falsely attributed the quote to Winston, which stated: “At 20, you’re concerned about others’ opinions; at 40, you stop caring about what others think; at 60, you realize no one ever thought about you at all.”
If we advance seven months, we encounter an almost identical post, except this time the statement is credited to the deceased advice columnist Ann Landers.
The post titled “Aging Gracefully” starts with the statement, “In our twenties, we are concerned about the opinions of others. By the time we reach our forties, we no longer bother about what they think. And when we turn sixty, we realize that they haven’t been giving us any thought at all.”

Natalie Wood looked gorgeous in a bikini at a pool party in the 1960s.
Oh Carol, Carol! At the end of the 1969 film Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, which tackled the themes of honesty and faithfulness in marriage, there was a more adventurous couple attempting to trade wives with their more conventional friends. When you find out that the attractive woman in a paisley bikini, Natalie Wood, is involved, the stakes suddenly seem a little greater. Wood played Carol, a lady determined to confess everything, even their illicit affairs, to her husband Bob (Robert Culp). Although Alice (Dyan Cannon) insisted on switching partners in one of those real-life movie-world cerebral exchanges, Ted (Elliott Gould) wasn’t too thrilled of the idea. It functions for a short duration before breaking down.
