she's written several books and her latest, why did i come into this room? a candid conversation on aging. now the ageless joan lunden. >> this is actually my tenth boog. not that i'm counting or anything. when i decided to write about aging, my husband says, really? that's what you're going to write about? yes. it's what i'm dealing with. and it is what women want to know about. i think the thing that frightens people the most, they walk into the kitchen and say, why did i come into this room? i said that has to be the title. >> have you ever forgotten why you walk into a room? >> are you kidding? shall we count how many times? of course. we all do it. everybody does it. if you're in your 20s and say what did i come in here for? why did i come into this room? you don't worry. if you're in your 50s, 60s, 70s,

you immediately think that this is the beginning of something bad. interestingly though, after researching the whole thing, i learned it is probably not. it is simply one of the signs one of the symptoms of aging. and i wanted everybody to, i wanted to put all these things out on the table. i wanted it to be a conversation starter. >> you also talk about a person's feelings. a need to feel relevant and capable. you had to deal with those feelings? >> with ageism? well, i really dealt with ageism one time. it is the opening of the book. i'll tell you the opening of the book. you know i do spots sometimes now for the "today" show. and i had done a series for them on friendship and the power of friendship, especially, throughout aging.

so they set me up with press. so i called the hollywood reporter to do this interview at the correct time. this reporter, the first question he asked me was, gee, miss london, what will it be like going back to morning television as a senior citizen in i almost fell off my chair. i mean, technically, i am. but i never thought of myself nervily as a senior citizen. nor ever i ever been called a senior citizen. i've never even gone to a movie theater and said that. it was the first time ever. it took me a minute to catch my breath. i thought about it and said, young man. look at my age. and immediately i'm sure in his mind, he wasn't even seeing me. it was a phone call. he just thought i was like a little old lady.

i just can't see myself out there not going 100 miles an hour for the next couple decades. i thought the 60s were -- >> that's you. >> yeah. >> i'm now in my 70s. >> wait. you're not older than me. >> yes, i will. i'll be 73 next month. i'll be 73 next month. >> you sure look like a kid. you do not look -- >> i still feel like a kid. >> like when you started with us. >> the thing about it is that if women if we don't open this discussion up and let people understand, when you just experience it alone, you think

i've got, i can't sleep, i can't lose the weight. all of a sudden you start going down that negative. i'm not as sexy, i'm not as relevant, pretty soon, you're not really open to all the things in life that could be available to you because you think you're on the decline. and that just tears me up. i don't want women to think that way. that's why i was so passionate about writing this book. >> isn't she amazing? joan will always be relevant and appealing and in demand. we first worked together in 1977. and wabc in new york and then later in the 80s and 90s, we worked together at "good morning america." so it's just wonderful to seeis. she inspired me to stay relevant and sexy. >> and young.
