For many years, my secret hobby has been to Google around for supercentenarians. I sometimes do it at work when I take a break, and sometimes at home when I'm playing on the computer. These winners of the genetic lottery fascinate me. This particular lady was a dancer in the Zeigfield Follies in 1918, and at 104, still dances several times a week. Here is the Wikipedia article:

and here is a video of her dancing for the crowd at her 101st birthday party:

Brandon, Doris is a "centenarian" not a "supercentenarian." Age 104 doesn't impress me and if this woman were not famous you wouldn't be posting this.

Actually, I never meant to post off topic, but realized only later that the post was for age 110 and up. I will abide by the forum parameters, though. If I post here again, it will only be about people age 110 and up. Her fame had nothing to do with my post, however. I'm interested in people who are strong and vital in extreme old age.

Actually, he wasn't pointing out you were at a breach of rules, only that you made your own error, by saying "Google around for supercentenarians."

And for the record, I don't think what you did was immoral or unethical here.
