LOS ANGELES, July 6 (UPI) -- Nick Cannon escorted a 90-year-old stripper directly to the final round of America's Got Talent, hitting the Golden Buzzer for the first time ever Tuesday to move her to the next level.

Born in 1946, Dorothy Williams started out as a dancer, but when she didn't become a star by age 23, she gave it up to work in a supermarket, Rickey reported.

There she stayed for 25 years until moving with her husband to Hawaii. But she never gave up her passion for dancing, she said. She started out on AGT performing "Let Me Entertain You" and stripping down to shorts and a tank top, with the crowd going crazy.

Shaking her booty and her hips, even thrusting erotically, Williams even twirled the tassels attached to her white tank top as the crowd roared with laughs and approval.

Williams received a standing ovation from Simon Cowell and Heidi Klum and from the audience.

"That's a star," Cannon bellowed from back stage.

"I absolutely love you," Klum told the widow from Hawaii. "You put me in a really good mood."

"I find you fascinating, Dorothy," Cowell chimed in."And I do think there's an audience for you. I think we need to work a little bit more on the tassels."

"I told her a star is born tonight," Cannon said after walking on stage to stand with Williams. He then ran off stage to the judges' stand and slammed his hand down on the golden buzzer to send Williams straight to the finals.
