A woman who has worked as an escort since the end of the Second World War is still earning £50,000 pounds a year from her sex services - at the age of 96.
Milly Cooper was swept off her feet by a wealthy American at the age of 27, and moved from London's East End to Las Vegas.
But he died in action in 1945, leaving her with a baby daughter and no regular means of support.
Milly, who had worked as a showgirl, was coaxed into becoming a high-class escort - and was soon earning a small fortune in the United States, where she has lived for most of her life.
She moved onto become a madam, handling bookings for ten girls, and continued in this line when she married her second husband, an accountant, in 1955.
He left her £100,000 in his will but she continued her work as a madam to make sure she never ran out of money.
In 1979, after nearly a 25-year break from providing personal sex services, she resumed that part of her life - and has continued as an escort ever since.
Milly, who has slept with 3,500 men, says her clients range in age from 29 to 92.
She currently sees two clients a week, earning up to £800 each time.
She told a magazine: 'Nowadays, the girls have vast boobs and skinny bodies and parade around half-naked.
'In my day, we would call those girls trollops. The industry's become mucky.
'At least I am maintaining standards. I always dress elegantly and my clients are gentlemen.'
