Holy crap, I was her neighbor for two years and didn’t even know it.

RIP Ms. Provine.

A favorite from Blake Edwards' movie "The Great Race" Miss Lily Olay.

From The Great Race (1965)
Leslie: Are you a native of Burracho?
Lily Olay: I ain't no native, I was born here!

She played Sid Cesars wife in Its A Mad Mad Mad Mad World, which was one of the funniest movies ever made.

I stand corrected she was Milton Berle’s wife Emiline.

Very sad. I remember watching her in the old TV show about The Roaring 20s. I had such a huge pre-teen crush on Dorothy Provine, you wouldn't believe it. I'd watch the show especially to see Dorothy do one of her flapper numbers as “Pinky” Pinkham, never failing to be amazed and delighted at the somewhat unusual and unknown (at the time) sensations her appearance would induce in my fevered adolescent physiology. My parents noticed this and were merciless in their teasing (”Oh, now we know, she's your girlfriend...”). Don't I wish...:-)

I remember her as Milton Berle’s wife in “It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World”, the one who discovered the giant ‘W” first while sitting on the park bench. Ethel Merman was her b!tch-on-wheels mom who never shut up and she had the hilarious crazy hippie brother named Sylvester. God I loved that movie.

She had a good career, RIP.

Must have been a real recluse. Never heard of her.

RIP. She just dropped off the radar screen in the ‘60s...

I had forgotten about her! But, I remember her from my childhood. Condolences to her family.

May her next of kin have the presence of mind to lay her to rest under a Big W.
