<p>GREAT PERFORMANCES mourns the passing of Doris Eaton Travis (1904 &#8211; 2010)—the last surviving Ziegfeld Girl—who first lit up the 1918 edition of <em>The Ziegfeld Follies</em> with her All American Girl star power.  Doris’ enduring song and dance charms were memorably featured in Episode One of the Emmy Award-winning <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wnet/broadway/" target="_blank"><em>Broadway: The American Musical</em> </a>(2004), in which she recreated one of her routines, Irving Berlin’s “Mandy,” on the set of <em>The Lion King</em> in the beautifully restored New Amsterdam Theater—the very stage on which she had performed in the <em>Follies</em> eight decades earlier.</p>
