Jeanne Calment
Jeanne Louise Calment (French pronunciation:  [ʒan lwiz kalmɑ ]; 21 February 1875 – 4 August 1997) was a French supercentenarian who had the longest confirmed human lifespan on record, living to the age of 7002122000000000000122 years, 7002164000000000000164 days. She lived in Arles, France, for her entire life, outliving both her daughter and grandson by several decades. Calment became especially well known from the age of 113, when the centenary of Vincent van Gogh's visit brought reporters to Arles. Calment became the last living documented person born in the 1870s when the Japanese supercentenarian Tane Ikai (born 1879) died on 12 July 1995. Her lifespan has been thoroughly documented by scientific study. More records have been produced to verify her age than in any other case.
