Doris Eaton Travis, the last surviving girl from the Ziegfeld Follies.

She joined the company in 1918 at age 14, and in this picture with her younger self Doris is 105.

She died a year after this photo was taken, in 2010. The day after she passed, the lights on Broadway were dimmed in her honor.

Time Travel Question 73: Assorted Performances XII

These Questions are the result of suggestions from the previous iteration.

Please add new suggestions below if you have them for future consideration.

This is the last of the already prepped Performances polls left. Have more suggestions? Feel free to weigh in.

Unless there is a landslide of suggestions, we'll be going back to the 20th century and earlier soon. I do have some music polls I want to run in February, which will effect the posting schedule.
