HOLLYWOOD may have made a movie about a 40-year-old virgin, but one Sydney resident beats his title by nearly six decades.
Despite several marriage proposals throughout her lifetime Maria Caterina Reitano – who turns 100 in January – is extremely proud of the fact she has never made love to a man.
Known to all as Aunty Cathy, Ms Reitano lives at Lady of Grace nursing home in Dural.
“When I was younger I thought I may have been missing out but then a few men came along when I was older and I said no,” she said.
Ms Reitano came close to marrying her first love Giovanni in her late teens but when she turned up at the church in her best dress he didn’t like it so she sent him packing.

So who will take the bullet? I guess this story is more proof that most people will not find that “perfect” partner.
