Yoko Ono, 89 Years Old

In the late 1960s, the world woke up to the vibrant and artistic Yoko Ono as the lovely wife of the ‘Beatles’ legend, John Lennon. That’s not all she was, as everyone soon found out in the subsequent years. Smart, creative, and with a mind of her own, she often collaborated on songs with her husband, made art and exhibited them in galleries around the world, and spent the rest of her time doing philanthropic work.

Knowing how hunger feels, this incredible woman has, for over 30 years, steadfastly worked with the organization ‘WhyHunger’ to fight against food deprivation around the world. The last few years have been hard on her health, and Yoko’s public appearances have considerably lessened since.
