My grandparents saw the follies on their honeymoon in 1925.

Wow, I’ll bet that was fun! Just like in a movie about the Roaring 20s.

Didn’t think any of the Ziegfield girls were still around.

Anyway, may Doris Eaton rest in peace...and thank you for entertaining so many.

“Singing in the Rain” was introduced by Cliff Edwards in “The Hollywood Revue of 1929.” There is no such film as “The Hollywood Music Box Revue.”

These people that live long lives like this women amaze me. I wonder if they sometimes feel like they fell asleep and woke up in some futuristic world, imagine the changes she saw in 106 years.

I think best the long life story I read was about a women that was born in 1859 and died in 1971. She remembered going out with her family when she was 6 years old and seeing Abraham Lincoln's funeral train pass by. Then she lived long enough to see man land on the moon. I could not even fathom that, it would be like living in two totally different worlds.

I have no idea who this person was, but she lived a long and active life. Rest in peace.

It was probably a Broadway show. There are more forms of entertainment than film.

She also continued to actively manage and operate her 880 acre ranch in Norman, Oklahoma.

Wow. This is not a good day for Norman, Oklahoma. They were just hit with some devastating tornadoes.
