CALIFORNIA: Jane Juska, whose chronicle of searching for sex as a woman in her 60s became a best-selling memoir and later a stage show, has died in California. She was 84.
Her son, Andy Juska, tells the San Francisco Chronicle his mother died Oct. 24 at a Chico care facility after an illness.
Juska was a retired and divorced schoolteacher in 2003 when she wrote her frank and funny book, "A Round-Heeled Woman: My Late-Life Adventures in Sex and Romance."
It grew out of a personal ad that led to flings with men of all ages that she said changed her life.
The best-seller landed her on Oprah Winfrey's show and was adapted into a one-woman show, starring Sharon Gless.
On Twitter, Gless wrote that Juska was funny and brave.
