Posted: 1/23/10 at 2:34amAww! I just watched ELMER GANTRY a few months ago and I felt she at least deserved a nomination (along with co-stars Burt Lancaster and Shirley JOnes) instead of eventual Best Actress winner Liz Taylor in that wretched BUTTERFIELD 8. She reminded me somewhat of Audrey Hepburn, but I felt she held more than her own in that film.
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

Yeah, I did too. Not going to lie.

Posted: 1/23/10 at 10:10amSad news ..... always enjoyed her performances. (And nobody seems to remember that she was the girl in the original 1949 version of The Blue Lagoon.)

In addition to Elmer Gantry, there were roles in Spartacus & Guys & Dolls
Another legend leaves us . R.I.P.

Posted: 1/23/10 at 11:23amMay she R.I.P. She was a marvel on screen. She should have won an Oscar for Elmer Gantry. Wonderful actress who will be missed.

Me too! I actually turned on the news channels before I read the thread.
May she rest in peace.
