In "The Great Gatsby," F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, "There are no second acts in American lives." If that oft-quoted saying was ever true, it is decidedly less so these days. With Americans living longer and our entrepreneurial spirit stronger than ever, many of us are indeed discovering second (and third) acts later in life. Just in time for spring, correspondent Susan Spencer meets some late bloomers who are finding phenomenal success at a time in their lives when most folks are thinking about retirement.
As far as we know, Charles Edward Maurice Spencer, the 9th Earl Spencer, isn't related to our Susan Spencer, but he IS brother to the late Princess Diana, and uncle to Prince Harry and Prince William. For more than 500 years, the Spencer family home has beenAlthorp, a magnificent, 13,000-acre estate 75 miles north of London, where Diana now lies buried. Charles Spencer takes our Tracy Smith on a personal tour of Althorp to talk about his family's remarkable and ongoing role in British history.
Patrick Dougherty has been called a sculptor, an environmental artist, an architect and a builder. But most people refer to him as theStick Man. Whatever you call him, his works are stunning. Dougherty weaves tree saplings, branches, twigs and vines into room-sized pieces that The New York Times perhaps best described as "woolly lairs and wild follies, gigantic snares, nests and cocoons, some woven into groves of trees, others lashed around buildings." His more than 250 structures at sites around the world have to be seen to be believed, and our Anna Werner takes a tour.
By now her story is well-known: on January 8, 2011, Gabby Giffords, a third-term Congresswoman from Arizona, was meeting with constituents outside a Tucson-area supermarket when she was shot in the head at point-blank range. Thirteen people were injured and six others were killed in the attack, but miraculously Giffords survived. During the past four years she has regained some of her ability to walk, speak and write. These days she is learning yoga, riding a bike, and even re-learning how to play the French horn. Lee Cowan visits with Giffords and her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, to talk about her ordeal and her astonishing comeback.

When Lin-Manuel Miranda sings about the drive of the "young, scrappy and hungry" immigrant, he's not singing about just any immigrant. He's singing about the man on the ten dollar bill, Alexander Hamilton. As Mo Rocca reports, Hamilton's musical journey to the stage is as revolutionary as the young revolutionary who helped create the America we know..
