Poor Russ Columbo and I was amazed how Carole Lombard and everyone kept his death from his mom. Doris was one of a kind and I would have loved to talk to her.

I'm more familiar with Mary Eaton who apparently had a wild reputation in her day. <br /><br />The only one of Doris' films that I've seen is Street Girl. It's been a while but I remember it being a pleasant trifle. I watched it to get a glimpse of Russ Columbo, though it was more of a cameo for him. The best showcase I've seen for him was his final film Wake Up and Dream which was released posthumously after that terrible freak gun accident that killed him. <br /><br />Back to Doris I do remember reading about her passing and marveling at both her great age and her story. <br /><br />Another wonderful addition to this great series!joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-44729341332292987412022-03-02T11:43:21.585-05:002022-03-02T11:43:21.585-05:00Thanks for the introduction to Doris Eaton Travis,...Thanks for the introduction to Doris Eaton Travis, Birgit.

She passed away in September 1980. <br /><br />I love the roaring 20s and 30s along with the Ziegfeld Girls era! That Doris was some kind of gal at 94. She absolutely blew me away with how good she could move let along dance quite the heart pacing routine for someone her age. I immediately noticed her youth on her face when she first appeared on the stage. I knew she had more kick then I expected and boy, did she ever impress me. Thanks for sharing this delightful post.
