SYNOPSIS
When 30 women aged 67–84 from across America and around the world descend on Fall
River, Massachusetts to compete in the 30th anniversary of the Ms. Senior Sweetheart
Pageant, hilarity and heartbreak ensue. Under the doting attention of pageant founder
and personality, Lenny “Low Price” Kaplan, these women share intimate experiences,
discover new-found passions and stir lifelong insecurities that challenge common
misconceptions of aging. Following four diverse competitors as they prepare for, travel
to and compete in the pageant, PRETTY OLD is a profound and intimate look into what
it truly means to age beautifully.
PRETTY OLD was inspired by Magnus Wennman’s award-winning photojournalism on
the pageant. And when director Walter Matteson first saw these photos hanging at the
2007 World Press Photo Exhibit in Copenhagen, Denmark, he was determined to bring
some of the stories they depicted to the big, or small, screen.
The narrative is led principally by the four, lead women – whose points of view are
diverse and whose enthusiasm is simply contagious. And as the film moves
chronologically from preparations to rehearsals to the actual competition itself, our
identification and understanding of these colorful and courageous women grows deeper.
With unparalleled access to the pageant and it’s contestants, what started out as a fairly
straightforward competition documentary – albeit a highly unusual one – the film
turned into a profoundly moving portrait of four women exploring issues of womanhood,
aging and beauty in contemporary culture.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
PRETTY OLD was inspired by Magnus Wennman’s award-winning photojournalism
displayed at the 2007 World Press Photo Exhibit in Copenhagen, Denmark. I was there
visiting my girlfriend (now wife) and I had just finished looking at the war and sports
photography when I stumbled into the still life exhibit. I walked around the corner and
saw this majestic image that from afar looked like a photorealist painting. It was three
senior women backstage at what looked like a Broadway show, and was a mixture
between beautifully vivid textures of skin tones with lights and glitter intermingled with
a haunting reality of aging and a clinging to a past youth. For me there was something
unexplainable about it and I couldn’t stop staring. I looked at the caption and all it said
was “Ms. Senior Sweetheart Beauty Pageant, Fall River, Massachusetts” — I was hooked.
I wanted to make those pictures come alive.
I went home, started researching and found a whole subculture of senior pageants in
America. I contacted Magnus (the photographer) and he sent me the article and story he
did on the pageant along with some contact details. After reading his perspective as a
foreigner (he is from Sweden) I was completely intrigued and decided to personally
reach out to the pageant. When I called, a man with a upbeat and extremely distinctively
scratchy voice, complete with a New England accent, picked up and said “Hello, hello?
Low Price Kaplan here, with the Ms. Senior Sweetheart Beauty Pageant of America
“slash” International.” I had met Lenny, and for the next three years immersed myself
into the world of senior beauty pageants. I called in every personal and professional
favor I had, spent every single dime I earned, and ended up surrounded by an amazing
team of talented filmmakers, who right before my eyes, took on my intrigue and great
passion for the subject and characters, and helped me creatively craft this film with the
hope of brining it to an audience.
3
With PRETTY OLD I am trying to show people that being and growing “old” can be
absolutely beautiful. This was a concept that I did not believe when I set out to make this
film. At first, as I expect many audiences will do, I came to the subject from the point of
view of being primarily interested in finding out what type of seniors would subject
themselves to the vanity of a beauty pageant. The stereotypes of plastic surgery, cakedon makeup, and “train-wrecked” women were driving my interests to find out more.
Through the making of this film I discovered, as did the subjects within, that we had
similar interests, fears, desires and needs that crossed those generational boundaries.
We became real friends, real family, and we laughed, cried, and learned all together. My
entire perspective about what it can mean to be and grow “old” was completely flipped
on its head. I want to show people how the harsh realities of aging and the purity of
youth can exist together and how much knowledge can be gained from listening to and
learning from one another.
Through the film, I want to open up a conversation between two generations that rarely
communicate. Internationally, seniors have become an underserved and
underrepresented population, especially in the media. In the past couple of years we
have seen condescending documentaries and TV shows mocking seniors as out-of-touch,
overtly sentimental, and childlike. We spend less time caring for and conversing with
elder relatives, who are often placed in retirement homes, rather than taking care of and
respecting them, as was traditionally the case. In the midst of the current global
instability, my generation should ask those who have experienced similarly difficult
times, questions that will provide much needed insight.
This was an independent film in the true sense of the term. I especially want to thank all
of the subjects in the film for being so honest with me and allowing me full access into
their personal lives. Without that, nothing can be learned. I also want to thank all of the
crew who made so many personal sacrifices for the project as a whole. This film is a
result and a perfect example of how the art of filmmaking, when it’s at its best, is most
definitely a collaborative effort.

THE CHARACTERS
Lenny “Low Price” Kaplan, 78
The founder and life behind the Ms. Senior Sweetheart
Pageant, Lenny has been a Fall River celebrity since he
was 25. Radio and TV commercials, singing, dancing
and comedy routines have made Lenny the most
recognizable figure in town. He has worked as an Army
Supply storeowner, apparel salesman, wrestling
announcer, boxing trainer, and an MC for various
events including Teen beauty pageants. When he
reached the age of 40, Lenny didn’t feel like he “belonged on stage with all of those young
women” and on a dare from The Lion’s Club committee, took up a “little old lady” beauty
pageant as a community fund-raiser. The astounding success of this event changed his
life and the lives of the countless seniors who have competed in the pageant.
Phyllis Chickett, 83
Last year Phyllis had to cancel two weeks prior to the pageant
after suffering from a heart attack, but she made it back this
year as a repeat competitor. After her one true love was
diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Phyllis spent her last years by his
side, selling their house to pay for the nursing home. For
Phyllis this pageant is more than about gaining a crown, it’s
about using what time we have left to its’ fullest.
Frances Christian, 67
Recent widow and caretaker to her 98-year-old mother and
developmentally challenged adopted son Frances. Frances
was diagnosed with late stage ovarian cancer two years ago.
We meet her in Houston where she declares that she is “not
scared of dying.” However, just weeks later, blood-work
results are back and her rapid physical decline is shockingly
obvious. She is unrecognizable by friends who grow
increasingly unnerved by Frances’ tragic depression. Despite
being a front-runner, she is sure that this is her last time at the pageant.
Ida White, 73
Born in New York, residing in the Virgin Islands, Ida is loud,
intelligent and insightful. Growing older has meant gaining
in confidence and positive self-discovery. Ida is far from the
days when racism towards her as an African-American
woman made her doubt her beauty and self-worth. Now she
is an active member of her community and a radio host.
However Ida is losing her husband to the first stages of
dementia and it is taking a toll on her. How can she deal
with the inevitable difficulties of ageing alone? And why,
with all of her confidence, is she nervously awaiting judgment from a group of strangers?
5
Tamara Swihart, 65
Referred to by the organizers of the event as a “pageant
junkie,” Mid-Westerner Tamara Swihart is addicted to beauty
competitions. Betty Boop impersonator, clog dancer, singer
extraordinaire, and pastor, Tamara is a veteran of the Ms.
Senior Sweetheart pageant. Tamara believes that beauty is in
the eye of the beholder and she keeps a critical eye on hers.
But what separates Tamara from the crowd isn’t just her
looks. In addition to her devoted commitment to her
community and her work in a local prison, it is her nonjudgmental view of beauty and the honest value she gets from
interacting with and other competitors that becomes a stark contrast to everything
Tamara seems to represent in her seeming vanity and beauty.
