Doris Eaton Travis, R. I. P.

CBC News - Theatre - Last Ziegfeld Follies chorus girl dies at 106: "Doris Eaton Travis, the last of Broadway's famed Ziegfeld Follies girls, died Tuesday at age 106.

The youngest Ziegfeld Follies girl when she was hired — at 14 — in 1918, Travis continued to dance long after her Follies days ended.

'When the stage lights hit Doris, she was instantly and forever young,' said Tom Viola, executive director of the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS organization that Travis supported.

Broadway, which will dim its lights Wednesday night in Travis's honour, will 'miss her forever,' he added."
