DR. ANA ASLAN; SAID HER DRUG RENEWED YOUTH

  • Glenn Fowler, New York Times News Service – CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Dr. Ana Aslan, a controversial gerontologist whose clinic in Romania attracted thousands of people from around the world in search of renewed youth, has died in Bucharest, according to reports from that city and Paris. She was in her early 90s.

Agence France-Presse reported that her death on May 20 went unnoticed in Romania for nearly a week until Thursday, when a Bucharest newspaper published a small item about her in the obituary column. She was buried last Sunday in a civil ceremony, although she had wanted a religious ceremony, the French press agency said.

Dr. Aslan developed a drug named Gerovital H3 that she and a loyal group of followers promoted as an elixir of youth. Detractors asserted that it was simply a solution of procaine, which under the brand name Novocain is widely used by dentists to block pain and is administered to older people as an antidepressant.

Shortly after World War II, Dr. Aslan, who specialized in treating arthritis, began working with a noted Romanian hormone specialist, Constantin Parhon. In 1954, the government-sponsored Parhon Institute of Geriatrics was established in Bucharest, and Dr. Aslan soon became its dominant figure.

The institute developed into a magnet for wealthy and prominent people from Europe and other continents, all searching for a way to stave off the ravages of age. Dr. Aslan traveled abroad to lecture and to promote Gerovital and Aslavital, another youth treatment she developed.

Among the famous people who took her treatments-or were widely reported to have done so-were Charles de Gaulle, Nikita Khrushchev, Indira Gandhi, Marshal Tito and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of West Germany, as well as the actresses Lillian Gish and Marlene Dietrich.

Most scientists outside Romania dismissed Gerovital as another false fountain of youth. The medical establishment in Great Britain and the United States found it had no merit, and the Food and Drug Administration refused to sanction it. Nevertheless, a few scientists hailed Gerovital as a wonder drug. Dr. Aslan herself refused to claim credit for rejuvenating specific celebrities, but neither did she deny extravagant claims by her supporters. A woman who in her 60s and 70s appeared 30 years younger, Dr. Aslan was variously reported as having been born between 1896 and 1898.

Before him, the movies were a nickelodeon novelty, after him, they were an international art form and a powerful, glamorous American industry He was the first to codify the rules and techniques of screen storytelling, the first to establish the conventions by which the unique capacities of the movies for both sweeping spectacle and profound intimacy could be employed in long, complex narratives, the first to assert the director’s claim to primary authorship of a film Above all, it was Griffith who imagined the future of his medium, and with his driving energy, his taste for the grandiose and his flair for publicity, propelled that medium toward that future—only to be crushed by the very forces he had unleashed.

Lillian Gish and Jeanne Moreau – Vanity Fair 1983

Lillian Gish and Jeanne Moreau – Vanity Fair 1983 Vanity Fair – October 1983 Lillian Gish Jeanne Moreau This is a summit meeting: a queen paying homage to an empress. Of course, Lillian Gish, far right, is no truer a blueblood than any other homespun midwesterner. But wherever she goes now, she is treated like a monarch, acknowledging standing ovations in allAmerican palaces like Radio City Music Hall. Her admirers aren’t really applauding her 101 films (she has just completed the 102nd, about a sweet old lady and her sweet old dog). They may never have seen her slim but supernally intense performances in the D. W. Griffith masterpieces or in the Victor Sjostrom classics she made in the late ’20s at MGM. Lillian-Gish-Jeanne-Moreau 60s But they sense in her the grace, the purity, the wealth of symbolism that royalty sustains. Gish’s companion here, Jeanne Moreau, radiates a similar authority; what Gish was to the cinema of the ’20s, Moreau was to the cinema of the ’60s. ...

LEADING LADIES – 1976 (Electa Clark) PDF Download

  LEADING LADIES – 1976 (Electa Clark) PDF Download “Humanity marches on into the new and glorious 20th century!” exults a daily paper in its first issue of 1901. “Come, oh century, child of hope!” begins a long poem on page one. Another column trills, “We are 20th century women … with the dower of privilege and responsibility which enriches women in this wonderful era!” Lillian Gish had a similar effect on millions who saw her in the movies. She was not only talented, she had a unique quality: pure, ethereal, elusive. As if she acted in whispers. As if in her hands, the definite blurred into the indefinite. It was drama critic George Jean Nathan who described her as being “behind a veil of silver chiffon.” He courted Lillian for years, but she eluded marriage.
