Fifty-four (54) is the age at which Billie Burke (August 7, 1884 - May 14, 1970) played Glinda in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the actress had retired from acting for marriage and family life with Florenz Ziegfield (March 21, 1867 - July 22, 1932). But the family lost all of their savings during the Stock Market crash of 1929. Despite her husband's death shortly thereafter, Billie persevered in raising her daughter and in paying off all creditors before her own death just over three decades after her signature role in the beloved 1939 movie version of "The Wizard of Oz."
