Another recurring characteristic of the sultry genre that is burlesque performance is the ripe old age all the dancing beauties seem to live to. Case in point is Sherry Britton, who saw out her days gracefully until kicking it at the impressive age of 89. By the time she died she had a fairly decent resume, including being made an honorary Brigadier General by Eisenhower, a pre-law diploma and a career in movies. Not to mention boasting the kind of boner-prompting body that women the world over would climb over their own mother to have.
