Edith Zack (July 28, 1918 – April 1, 2008), better known by the stage name Sherry Britton, was an American burlesque performer of the 1930s and early 1940s. The 5-foot-3-inch (1.60 m) Britton had an 18-inch (46 cm) waist, and was once said to have a "figure to die for." She got her stage name from a liquor store on a bottle of Harvey's Bristol Cream Sherry.
Britton performed in many theaters and clubs during the Golden Age of burlesque. She once said "I despised burlesque." However, she did enjoy stripping in nightclubs, like Leon & Eddie's where she was a regular for seven years. She stripped to classical music, wore lovely long gowns and tiaras and crowns. When burlesque went by the wayside due to the NYC ban in 1940, Britton turned to plays, eventually appearing in almost forty of them. Britton also spent much time during World War II entertaining troops, for which she was made an honorary Brigadier General by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
