CBS This Morning With Charlie Rose Introduces Launch Of World’s First 88-year-old Action Hero

ALAMEDA, Calif. - Aug. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- “KAY D’ARCY IS… THE OCTOGENARIAN JACKIE CHAN.”
– Los Angeles Times

Agent 88 is the world’s deadliest assassin... an 88-year-old British woman on the verge of Alzheimer’s.

An eclectic cocktail of Kill Bill, 007, and Mr. Magoo, AGENT 88 is a dark, action comedy that meshes wry wit with cutting-edge martial arts action, slick visual effects and the conviction that... killing just gets better with age. She may suffer from the occasional bout of forgetfulness but this geriatric killing machine is as proficient with a bazooka as she is lucky at bingo.
