A look at the features for this week's broadcast of the #1 Sunday morning news program
Celebrate "Sunday Morning" every day of the week with this handy 365-day tear-off calendar featuring examples of our luminous "sun art," and quirky historical facts from our popular "Almanac" segment – a perfect holiday gift!
The gnarled bristlecone pines that have taken root high atop the remote, rocky slopes of California's White Mountains are the longest-lived individual trees on the planet – and they have secrets to share.
"Sunday Morning" anchor Jane Pauley hosts this one-hour primetime special exploring the wonders, rewards and challenges of growing older, including reports on promising cutting-edge research into drugs and therapies that might slow, or even reverse, aging itself. Also: A visit to a village on Sardinia, which has one of the highest concentrations of centenarians in the world; interviews with Hollywood legends Candice Bergen and Billy Crystal, talking about their secrets to long careers in youth-centric Hollywood; examining the longevity gap between women and men; studying long-lived animals for clues that can help humans adapt to aging; creating ways to live forever (virtually) through avatars and artificial intelligence; and a look at how some people, legally dead, are being kept frozen until scientists in the future can possibly revive them.
The comedian discusses his less-than-graceful attainment of years, and its effects on his knees.
Wisdom may be gained with age but, researchers say, you have to pursue it. Correspondent Susan Spencer looks at what accounts for the accumulation of wisdom, which can represent a freedom and creativity unknown to our younger selves.
Seems that comedian Billy Crystal has always enjoyed playing old, like in 1987's "The Princess Bride." Actually getting old? Not so much. But it will be less of a stretch for the now-73-year-old to play an aging comic in the upcoming Broadway musical, "Mr. Saturday Night." Correspondent Tracy Smith finds out how Crystal stays so youthful.
In nearly every country in the world, women outlive men. Correspondent Nancy Giles talks with researchers trying to understand why there is a longevity gap, answers to which could ultimately help us all.
In an Arizona laboratory, the bodies of nearly 200 people, and 90 pets, are being stored in liquid nitrogen, to be kept frozen until scientists in the future can possibly revive them. Correspondent Luke Burbank visits the Alcor Corporation, where some very patient patients are being held for an uncertain future, and talks with a neuroethicist about the lethal and moral propriety of cryonics.
From naked mole-rats and elephants to tortoises and macaws, many animals have traits that help them avoid the damage that aging, or cancer, causes in humans. Correspondent Martha Teichner visits the Birmingham Zoo in Alabama to observe some of Nature's most resilient creatures.

Does older really mean wiser? Wisdom may be gained with age but, researchers say, you have to pursue it – and it can represent a freedom and creativity unknown to our younger selves.
Companies are creating bots, holograms and video renditions that will enable you to "talk" to succeeding generations. Correspondent David Pogue looks into how technology is giving some people virtual immortality.

Born to Hollywood royalty, the actress and model Candice Bergen found her greatest talent in comedy, as the Oscar-nominated star of "Starting Over" and a five-time Emmy-winner for "Murphy Brown." Candice Bergen talked with "Sunday Morning" anchor Jane Pauley about finding new wellsprings of confidence at age 75, as well as the privilege of being a doting grandmother.
