Ellen Albertini Dow, ‘The Wedding Singer’ Rapping Granny, Dies At 101

By Pam Witt

Today we lost a good soul

Ellen Albertini Dow, best known for her rendition of “Rapper’s Delight” in the 1998 Adam Sandler movie The Wedding Singer,
passed away last night, as confirmed by Deadline.

She was 101.

She appeared in many other movies, but what’s surprising is that she didn’t start acting until she was in her 70s!

This is another example of why you should never give up on your dream to reach success regardless of your age!

She lived to her fullest potential and enjoyed an amazing lifestyle:

In a 1988 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Dow said that she “never heard of (the song) in my life… I just sang it and put some movement on it.”

Ellen was funny and had a lot of energy. She reminded me of my great grandma, who had that same energy and also lived a long life!

They may be gone, but their spirits live on and can remind us, that while most people see their life as pretty much over by the time they reach 70 years old, Ellen realized that it’s never too late to make your dreams a reality!
