The Golden Age of Hollywood: Where Are They Now?

Caren-Marsh Doll - 102

Caren Marsh-Doll started working as a dancer from a young age. Her resemblance to Judy Garland landed her the part of dance double in The Wizard of Oz and Ziegfeld Girl. For the former, she was gifted the famous ruby slippers to thank her for her hard work, for which she wouldn’t get a film credit. The actress continued working as a dancer and actor, but an airplane crash led to devastating results. After the crash, she began instructing dance instead. She's still alive today at the age of 102.
