Mitzi Gaynor has died......
Mitzi Gaynor, the effervescent dancer and actor who starred as Nellie Forbush in the 1958 film of “South Pacific” and appeared in other musicals with Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly, has died. She was 93.
Gaynor, among the last survivors of the so-called golden age of the Hollywood musical, died of natural causes in Los Angeles on Thursday morning, her long-time managers Rene Reyes and Shane Rosamonda confirmed in a statement to The Associated Press.
“As we celebrate her legacy, we offer our thanks to her friends and fans and the countless audiences she entertained throughout her long life,” Reyes and Rosamonda said in a joint-statement. “Your love, support and appreciation meant so very much to her and was a sustaining gift in her life.”

this was shown 1 year after i was born. would have been 1 year old when it came out.
I always wanted to be like her, but alas, her legs, I'm certain, were as long as I am tall.
ever since I saw "South Pacific" at the Princess Theatre in Cleveland, Tennessee, many years ago.
