90-year-olds

All her life, Dorothy Williams dreamed of being a star. Now 90 years old, she finally got her chance.

Thanks to "America's Got Talent," the nonagenarian had the opportunity to perform in front of a massive live crowd (not to mention the millions of viewers watching on TV). She wasn't about to let this golden opportunity go to waste.

For 1 minute and 19 seconds, all eyes were on Dorothy.

Her routine was met with raucous cheers from start to finish. Audience members gasped, clapped, and roared as Dorothy performed a strip tease (complete with nipple tassels, whaaaat?!) on the stage. She exuded joy, standing as living proof that you can be amazing at any age.

"A star is born tonight!" host Nick Cannon exclaimed as the crowd again erupted into applause. It was a good night for Dorothy. A very, very good night.

Watch Dorothy do her thing in the video below, and be sure to stay tuned for the emotional ending.
