Doris Eaton: 105 and still amazing!

Doris Eaton turned 105 last January. She was actually the subject of the first post here on FTT, and I've always adored her. She's still kicking, and still literally dancing. Every year she takes part in a few charity events. The New York Times wrote about her in April.

And now Gary over at Midnight Palace has done a wonderful interview with her, which you can read here. Doris is truly a wonder, and if you haven't read either of her books you really need to. The Days We Danced is her biography, and Century Girl is a wonderful huge picture book that tells her life through pictures and cute collages. Click here to watch Doris performing in 1929.
