Doris Eaton Travis, one of the legendary Ziegfeld Follies chorus girls, who wore elaborate costumes for the series of lavish Broadway theatrical productions in the early 1900s, died Tuesday 5/11/2010 at age 106, public relations firm Boneau/Bryan-Brown said. Travis, who owned several dance studios in Michigan and operated a horse ranch in Oklahoma, had a few wrinkles and white curly hair that framed her eyes of blue. She enrolled at Oklahoma University and earned a bachelor's degree in history at age 88. She credited her longevity to her ongoing love affair with dancing and not drinking or smoking.
