Fabulous Palm Springs Follies Is Still Kicking
For these performers ages 55 to 85, there’s no business like show business
“They have enviably taut bodies, fitness levels that surpass most 20-year-olds and the unmistakable elan that comes only with vast experience.”
“The 16 ladies and gents possessing those laudable characteristics are the cast of the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies, an energetic troupe of California hoofers and singers who serve up potent three-hour matinee and evening performances as many as nine times a week.”
“Each of them is between the ages of 55 and 85; 13 are at least 65 years old.”
“The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies holds the Guinness record for being the oldest professional chorus line in the world, and one of its performers, Dorothy Dale Kloss, holds the record—at age 85—for being the oldest “still-performing showgirl.” (Quotes from AARP Bulletin Today.)
