Anne Frances has died at age 80.
Damn. Was just watching Honey West a few months ago.

[Richard Perrin]

Completed forgot about her until you posted... thanks! I enjoy her acting but couldn't remember her in movie. I've seen her on TV long ago. Prayer goes to her family.

Forbidden Planet!
Blackboard Jungle!

There's a quote attributed to G.K. Chesterton:
Journalism largely consists in saying "Lord Jones is dead" to people who never knew Lord Jones was alive.

For the record, I can think of only two 'hollywood greats' that are still alive: sisters
Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland.
I assumed they had passed away many years ago.

Maybe I should add Mickey Rooney to this dwindling list?

[Don Hendrix]

How about Kirk Douglas?

[Kevin Connolly]

Shirley Temple

[Brad Henderson]

Mickey is still performing. He was working the mount airy lodge and casino last July.

Liz Taylor, Debbie Reynolds, Jackie Cooper, Lauren Bacall, Jerry Lewis, Deanna Durbin, Farley Granger, Ernest Borgnine, Eli Wallach, Carroll Baker, Brigitte Bardot, Mitzi Gaynor, Ruby Dee, Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier, Doris Day, Leslie Caron, Julie Harris, Angela Lansbury, Shirley MacLaine, Jane Russell, Tony Martin, Maximilian Schell, Vera Miles, Rod Taylor, Hugh O'Brien, Esther Williams, Rip Torn, Maureen O'Hara, Kim Novak . . .

. . . there are many more; those are just off the top of my head (the vault of useless information).

Impressive list, Bill.
I could have sworn half of these 'immortals' were already pushing up daisies

By the way, I loved Ethel Merman's heart-warming account of her marriage to Borgnine. A deliberate blank page in her memoirs.

And in a legendary interview she came up with the best retaliatory put-down of her ex-husband. Alas, it's too crude for this forum.

"Marsha, Marsha..."

Twilight Zone--Anne played a mannequin who became "human" for a month, experiencing the real world)--a fav ep. of mine.

At the Beverly Garland Hotel in Studio City, I saw Anne Frances just a few years ago on a panel of actors who appeared on "The Twilight Zone." While 70+ years then, she looked wonderful, appearing decades younger and healthier than her co-Zone alumni.
