Marge Champion, 100, Born In 1919 –  Fame

Marge Champion is another Hollywood actress/dancer who has lived to be a centenarian. In her early teenage years, Champion was a child prodigy serving as a dance model for Disney Studios. Some of her work as a dance model involved Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio.

Champion’s work as an adult included musical performances for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Among her small roles, she gained quite the awareness for her portrayal of the ballet teacher on Fame. While her work-life thrived, the same couldn’t be said for her private life, with the first two marriages ending in divorce, and the third, with her husband’s death.
