The Quiet Man
Just saw Carol on Law and Order and she was pretty good in a serious role.

I couldn’t stand her either, didn’t think she was attractive at all - very harsh looking.
Bogart’s “Baby”...
RIP.
How many actors from that generations are still around...?
I definitely thought that. Not quite the calibre of Bacall but most definitely bigger than this Murphy WADR.
OTOH, Mickey Rooney died in April. Is that enough spread and importance from Rooney to Garner to Bacall?
Hillary? That would take something a bit stronger, like fentanyl or heroin.
Since she died the same day as Lauren Bacall, but without the big death announcement of either Bacall or Williams; Yes she will displace J.J. Murphy in the “3 deaths in a row” category; especially when we are looking at these three dying within a 48 hour period.
Now, how many actors/actresses can we get to die within a single 24 hour period?
Luise Rainer is alive and well at 104. She won Oscars in 1936 and 1937 for best actress.
