Lee Redmond

Lee Redmond (born February 2, 1941) is an American woman who held the record in the Guinness World Records for longest fingernails on both hands. Guinness World Records The Enquirer featured her every few years and kept track of the progress of her nails. Redmond started growing her nails in late 1978 to early 1979 and although she had originally planned to have them cut off on November 22, 2006 (as she said on her guest appearances on a couple of talk shows), she chose to keep her nails after all. In the past few years, she made appearances on CBS News and at the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum. One of her last appearances was at a fundraiser for the Salt Lake City fire department, where it was reported her nails were an average of 86-89 centimetres (34–35 in) in length.
