85-Year-Old Showgirl Still Has It

Posted by Emily Farris

We hope we still have all of our teeth and hair by the time we're 85. But that's not enough for Dorothy Kloss, an 85-year-old showgirl who got her start in the business in the 30's and has worked with Bob Fossee. After a bout with colon cancer and a few trips and falls, Kloss still dances with the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies, and looks damn good doing it.

Recently Kloss—who deals with sore feet by soaking them in vodka—received quite an honor.

She was named the World's Oldest Showgirl in the 2009 Guiness Book of World Records.

We want to be just like her when we grow up.
