'I am not old. I have just been here for a long time.'
Eileen Kramer has lived the most extraordinary life. Born just
after Australia entered World War I, she embraced creativity
and adventure from an early age. She danced and painted
murals in Karachi; worked as an artist's model in Paris and
London; met Ella Fitzgerald and Groucho Marx; and learned
the twist from Louis Armstrong. In September 2013, aged
ninety-nine, Eileen returned to Australia. Now, at 108, she is
still dancing.
Eileen has led a bold and vibrant life, and to this day she is
surrounded by creativity and friendship. She makes the most
of every moment and brings beauty and joy to those around
her. Here she shares her inspirational story and wisdom,
showing others the gift of the dance of life.
