in 1986 jeanne calment became the oldest living person in france at the age of 111. her profile increased during the centennial of vincent van gogh's move to arles, which occurred from february 1888 to april 1889 when she was 13–14 years old. calment claimed to reporters that she had met van gogh at that time, introduced to him by her (future) husband in her uncle's shop. she remembered the meeting as a disappointment, and described him as ugly and an alcoholic. she was recognised by the guinness world records as the world's oldest living person when she was 112. at the age of 114, she briefly appeared in the 1990 documentary film "vincent and me", walking outside and answering questions. her profile further increased when "guinness" named her the oldest person ever in 1995. far exceeding any other verified human lifespan, calment was widely reckoned the best-documented supercentenarian ever recorded. for example, she was listed in fourteen census records, beginning in 1876 as a one-year-old infant. after calment's death, at 122 years and 164 days, 116-year-old marie-louise meilleur became the oldest validated living person. several claims to have surpassed calment's age were made, but no such case was proven. for over two decades, calment has held the status of the oldest-ever human being whose age was validated by modern standards.
