    Jennifer Williams, also known as Fethers, traveled to the US from England after watching Ocean's 11. She had dreams of meeting Frank Sinatra. After working as an au pair in Cincinnati, she settled in Los Angeles and became a waitress at Lawry's The Prime Rib on La Cienega. She's been there for 45 years, and has waited on Muhammad Ali, Doris Day, Sammy Davis Jr. and Elizabeth Taylor, among other stars. Sadly, she never got to meet Frank Sinatra. She officially retires on March 31.
