TV icon Valerie Harper, who gives the word inspirational new meaning, and who signed on as one of the new Dancing With the Stars contestants, gives an in-depth interview with AARP The Magazine.
Harper dishes on how her cancer diagnosis affected her life and how excited she is to dance her way to remission on Dancing With The Stars.
The physical rigor of Dancing With the Stars might pose a huge challenge, but Harper, who began her career in show business as a dancer, isn’t one to back down.
“I wouldn’t give people advice, except to share with them what I’m doing,” she told AARP, “which is: You’re alive, stay alive. Don’t start putting a foot in the grave or planning a funeral. You can plan it, but don’t start planning it as if it’s that day.”
