Sherry Britton

Edith Zack (July 28, 1918 – April 1, 2008), better known by the stage name Sherry Britton, was an American burlesque performer of the 1930s and early 1940s.

The 5-foot-3-inch (1.60 m) Britton had an 18-inch (46 cm) waist, and was once said to have a "figure to die for." Legend has it that she decided on her stage name when she saw a bottle of Harvey's Bristol Cream Sherry while passing through a liquor store.
