Emily Skinner is paying tribute to her in her FB. Has she passed?
Jane Connell has passed?

Yes, it appears to be true. Someone on All That Chat said they received an e-mail from the Actors' Home (where Connell has lived for some time) confirming her passing.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Aw.... RIP.
I saw her as Miss Hannigan in Annie, opposite Reid Shelton, in the national tour of Annie. She was wonderful.
A delightful Agnes Gooch, too.

This is very sad. Time to put on "The Tea Party" and listen to her try to keep Dickie in line!!
At least we will be able to enjoy her performances on record forever.
RIP

Oh, dear. I worked with her briefly on Lansbury's last MAME tour and Connell was not only fall-out-of-your-seat funny on stage, she was the sweetest and loveliest lady off-stage! What a gem!

In Mame, her classic line, "I opened a new window".....was memorable.
I can still hear the roaring laughter of the audience when she tried to sit in a low beanbag type chair looking about 100 months pregnant.
Jane Connell..you were one of a kind. I really loved her.

I had no idea she had played Miss Hannigan in Annie on tour. Didn't realize that Reid Shelton had toured with the show either.
I saw her in Me and My Girl and Crazy for You.

I was lucky to see her as Miss Hannigan opposite Keene Curtis as Warbucks and Swen "I've Got Your Number" Swenson as Rooster in ANNIE at The Curran Theatre in San Francisco. Jane brought down the house with her rendition of "Little Girls".
Love seeing her pop up on reruns of Bewitched, also.
A total pro.
May she rest in peace.

I had the pleasure of seeing her many times. I think the last time was in MOON OVER BUFFALO. She was marvelous--as always.
May she rest in peace.

In LEND ME A TENOR it was priceless to hear her stretch out the words "shrimp mayonnaise".
