Today, Loletha(Lola) Elaine Falana turns 65. I'm sure alot of you have heard the name, but have no idea how she is such an iconic woman. She was an actress and dancer who was discovered by Sammy Davis, Jr. while dancing in a nightclub. She got a role in Davis' 1964 Broadway play Golden Boy. After being featured in a handful of movies and television shows and even cutting a disco album, she took her act to Las Vegas with help from Davis. She and her infamous legs played sold out shows all over Vegas and was the highest paid female performer in Las Vegas.

Unfortunately, Falana had to give up dancing after a number of bouts of mutiple sclerosis. She now resides in Las Vegas a continues to give hope and spiritual support thanks to a ministry she founded, The Lambs of God Ministry. Happy 65th birthday, Lola Falana!

Stay Stylish!
