At ninety-five years old, most people have long since retired from the public eye. Katherine Jackson just proved she is not most people. The beloved mother of the late Michael Jackson was spotted out in California looking healthy and elegant.
This rare look at the woman who started it all is a gift for every fan who remembers the early days of the Jackson family.
Katherine went to church with her daughter, La Toya, who wore an all-black Coach outfit. Katherine looked wonderful as she prepares for her ninety-sixth birthday on May 4.
