Do you harbour dreams of celebrity but worry it might be too late? Well, don’t!  These days, you can become a celebrity at any age if you’ve got the stuff!

It seems that people can’t get enough of Dorothy Custer (born on May 30th 1911).   Custer is not just a centenarian, she is also a comedian and a harmonicist.

Although she has worked as an amateur entertainer since 1926 and has been an active harmonica player since 1923 – it’s only recently that her fame has reached unprecedented heights, thanks, in part, to the Internet.

Her appearances on the Jay Leno show have made her an internet legend-in-the-making.  She has at least a million views and is being “favourited” all over Facebook.  Custer has killer timing and her material is comedy gold.   We’ll take her over Betty White any day!
