Starring in music videos at the age of 100, Eileen Kramer is probably the oldest working dancer and choreographer in Australia, if not the world - and the centenarian revels in her age.
"I don't mind. I'm 100!," she said from the Sydney rehearsal of a music video in which she is performing. "I'm liberated. I don't have to be 35 all the time."
The conversation with Kramer moved swiftly - from how she used to eavesdrop on philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre in a Paris cafe, to modeling for famous artists, to Louis Armstrong teaching her to do the twist.
