DANCING WITH THE STARS CELEBRITY DANCERS ANNOUNCED OFFICIALLY

In my previous blog about the Dancing with the Stars Season 7 celebrity dancers, I omitted the name of Cloris Leachman because I thought there was a mistake. It is usually 12 celebrities only and not 13. But why did I exclude Cloris? Because when I google her background, I found out that she is already in her 80's. I could not believe it. She's older than my mom and she's still dancing.
Wow, this is something to look forward to. So far the oldest participant was Priscilla Presley who was only in her early 60's.
