Now that is a blessing if I ever saw one. Where's Hollywood to chronicle this American experience?

Rebecca Lanier of Warrensville Heights, Ohio celebrated her 119th birthday this week. The Mississippi native, who is the daughter of slaves, was born in 1892.

She has outlived her two children and lives with her 61-year-old grandson, who made sure to note that she is in good health and gets up and dresses herself every morning. She takes a few supplements, but does not need to take any medication for illnesses or ailments.

According to reports, the federal government has verified her age, but the Guinness Book of Records cannot accept it without a birth certificate.
