Silent movie buff here, and in the early days of home video, Rosa Rio was the
accompanist for just about every silent film released on VHS tape (she was under
some sort of contract to the folks at Video Yesteryear, who had a near lock on
that segment of the video market)...so the name was very familiar to me....
At the time I added her to my deadpool list, her actual age was a well-guarded
secret, and then someone honored her at some function and the question came up:
was she eighty-five?...ninety?...no, she had to confess, she was then 102....
