OH NO! I love Betty Hutton! Her Capitol records releases from the 40's are spectacular! I would have loved to see her perform live, but I was born too late!
I will hoist a cocktail tonight to the delightful Ms Hutton!
ETA: Yes, Google is mistakenly reporting that today is her Birthday (86) but I see it on TCM and Wikipedia that she died earlier today. Well, it's a good excuse for you kids to check out her records or watch the tribute to her on TCM 3/15.

RIP Betty Hutton.
I loved her in Annie Get Your Gun, this is terrible news.

I'm so sad... She was a true original.

Posted: 3/12/07 at 7:08pmHopefully TCM will replay that wonderful interview Robert Osbourne did with her a few years ago. She was a great talent and seemed like such a sweet lady.

Posted: 3/12/07 at 7:23pmAnd as I posted on the off-topic board, I believe she filled in as Miss Hannigan during the original Broadway run of Annie.

Posted: 3/12/07 at 7:45pmSo sorry to hear this. Though I wish Judy could have completed "Annie Get Your Gun," I thought Betty did a good job.

My friend just told me about this 
RIP, Betty.
I'm glad that TCM will be playing her Private Screening. I saw it about a year or so ago and really enjoyed it

Posted: 3/12/07 at 9:37pmI'm not seeing ANYTHING on the web confirming that Betty passed away - just that today is her 86th birthday.

When ever her movies came on MILLION DOLLAR MOVIE I was riveted.
What a talent.
