Award-winning actress Nanette Fabray has died at 97
Tony- and Emmy-winning actress Nanette Fabray has died, her son has confirmed. She was 97.
Fabray, who was the aunt of actress Shelley Fabares, died in her home in Palos Verdes, California, on Thursday from natural causes. Her family was with her when she died.
Born Ruby Nanette Bernadette Theresa Fabares, her career began at age 3 in vaudeville. She became a Broadway star in the '40s, winning a Tony for her role in "Love Life." She appeared in several movies, most notably in the classic 1953 musical "The Band Wagon" opposite Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse, but she was best known for her TV work.

No Nose Nanette as meanies called her. And yet a brilliant comedian for anyone who cares about Sid Caesar’s brilliant show available on DVD.

All of my favorites are dying. I watch TCM most of the time (because everything else is trash). And like the Sixth Sense, I see dead people. It gives a person melancholy.

I remember her in "One Day at a Time" as Grandma Romano, with my main TV crush in 1981-82, Valerie Bertinelli.

Ernie Kovacs was crazy. Loved his Nairobi Trio, Percy Dovetonsils character, and the Dutch Masters commercials. Another favorite of mine is Spike Jones:
