after the funeral he goes to
court to break it on grounds
she was too senile to know
what she was doing.

But what happens when
Aunt Agatha, in all the wit
and vigor of her golden
years, is right there on a
television screen, telling the
nephew, and anyone else
who cares to watch, what a
bum he is?

“You couldn't contest a
will like that,” said Kirsten
Alprin, the lady whose
business it now is to put last
wills and testaments on
videotape for people who
want a living record. “That's
why so many attorneys are
interested in it. If that
person is sitting there in
front of you and looks and

could contest it.” ~

For $350 — slightly more
if you want background
music — Alprin will give you
five minutes of videotape to
say anything you want to say
to anyone, and not all the
clients of her fledgling
business are into it for last
rites.

“A pregnant woman came
in not’ long ago,” she said.
“She had been trying for
years to have a baby and she

_was afraid she might not live

through childbirth. She
made one of the most
beautiful testimonies to that
child I’ve ever heard.”

Alprin ~— 26, blonde,
beautiful and Miss Denmark
in 1976 — doesn't fit the
image of the freewheeling
entrepreneur, but behind
those Nordic green cyes
ticks the mind of a John

“The. “Aunt Agatha” of

fictional;.Only the names, as
they . used to say in
television, have been
changed. to protect a con-

absolutely guarantees.

But there was an “Aunt :

who sat before the video

“I know you couldn't wait
for me to die,” she said.
“Well, now the joke is on
you, you S.O.B. You don't
