- Doris Eaton at 104 years old was still dancing.
- At 103 she was still managing her 880 acre ranch.
- Sister of Pearl Eaton, Mary Eaton and Charles Eaton. In 2003 Doris penned the memoir "The Days We Danced" along with Charles and another brother Joseph, recalling their heyday in vaudeville and on Broadway.
- Original member of the Ziegfield Follies of 1919.
- Hosted a local TV show in Detroit for seven years and became a millionaire.
- During the 30s offers were few and far between for all four of the Eaton entertainers. Pearl, Mary and Charles became alcoholics. Doris says not drinking is one of the reasons for her longevity.
- [on why she survived the end of her stage career better than her sisters] I reached the age of 32 and I took a good look at myself and said, "What's going on here? This is nothing. This is not life". I went back to church and began to study and find myself. I got some inner strength from that.
- [Regarding her longevity:] It seems that when people find out about it, they're astonished; and possibly because I'm still walking around.
