A veteran Broadway performer in such shows as Oklahoma, Bloomer Girl, The King and I, Anna Christie, Mame, etc
Some of my fave movies of hers are All About Eve, High Society, The Tender Trap, Come to the Stable, The Snake Pit, Gentleman's Agreemant, Cinderella, and Tom Sawyer.
I've always thought that Virginia Madsen kind of looked like her.

She brought all her grace to the off-the-radar Brendan Fraser film STILL BREATHING - and she played the tuba!
She is always a lady, and an etheral one at that.

She's a right bitch, according to me mum! I like her in a couple of the films I've seen, though.

Posted: 9/30/05 at 12:58pmI just saw her last week at IN THE WINGS (the awful new comedy at the Promenade). She looks exactly the same -- beautiful. Does she age?

She was knighted by King Olav of Norway. Rose would be proud!
And I just read that Lesley Anne Warren played Cinderella. I never connected those dots.. and this little gay boy loved his Cinderella. Um...
The things IMDb has to offer.

Posted: 9/30/05 at 1:55pmAn old room mate of mine went to the movies one afternoon. When she got back I asked her how it was. She said it was okay, but this old lady behind her was talking through the whole thing and rustling her candy wrappers endlessly. Turns out it was Celeste! You would think someone from that golden era of Hollywood would have a little more respect.
