You wish you were Doris Eaton!

Doris Eaton (Travis) is the last surviving Ziegfeld girl. She was in the Follies 1918 (with Olive Thomas, 1919, and 1920. She is 104 years old. And STILL DANCING. You read that right. Here she is at 101 performing:

Hell at 21 I wish *I* move that good! And she's STILL dancing every year for various events. Last month I found a fan mail address for her and decided I had to give this amazing lady a letter. I requested an autograph as well and hoped for the best.

A few weeks later I got a reply. A short little note and a very beautiful 8X10 (same picture as the one on that book cover) signed by the lovely lady. Very sweet. I encourage everyone to send her a little note and tell her how amazing she is. The address is:

Ms. Doris Eaton Travis
c/o The Travis Ranch
1500 60th Ave NW
Norman, OK USA 73072-2713

And since Miss Eaton Travis was so nice I'm totally plugging her book here. A book about her life titled, "Century Girl: 100 Years in the Life of Doris Eaton Travis, Last Living Star of the Ziegfeld Follies" written by Lauren Redniss is available by clicking here.
