Hattie Wiener

Hattie Wiener (also known as Hattie Retroage; May 25, 1936 – June 21, 2024) was an American sexologist, sex coach, dating coach, model, and media personality.[1][2] She dated much younger men and was popularly known as "the oldest cougar".[3]

Wiener was born in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on May 25, 1936, and named for her father's role in the hatters' labor union.[1] She married at 22, had children, and worked professionally as a dance teacher at the School for Creative Movement.[1][2] She established a practice where she incorporated dance to help women deal with sexual issues connected to aging.[1] When she was 55, her husband asked for a divorce and Wiener began dating younger men whom she met through personal advertisements, and later online dating sites such as Tinder.[1][4]

In her 70s, she was featured as a model in Vogue and appeared on television programs such as TLC's Extreme Cougar Wives, Dr. Phil, and Inside Edition.[2]

Wiener died on June 21, 2024, in New York, aged 88.[5]
