She has worn the same shoes for 30 years (specially designed T-strap sandals with round closed toes and square low heels), never wears any more of a hat than a snood. She rouges her ears, has a manicure, pedicure, massage and hairdo daily, drinks Mountain Valley Mineral Water with the gusto of an addict. When she stays in hotels, she takes along...
