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.

God, accept her soul.
Spike was my first musical inspiration! My Dad was so upset that I wasn’t into Harry James! Frank Zappa and I had a nice conversation about Spike and his tv show.
Classic beauty!
She will be missed
May the angels sing her home
RIP
TV in the 50’s was awesome. So glad I was born when I was so I could experience all these incredible TV shows, and performers. I’ve got a 3-CD collection of Spike’s music. I need to dig it out as I haven’t listened to it in long while.
” I’ve got a 3-CD collection of Spike’s music.”
I don’t have any of his music, but he formed my approach!
I remember her well. Did she not have a hearing problem, that I think was later resolved?
I find myself watching older shows more and more. Lately I have been watching the GRIT channel and I just love the old westerns, Laramie is the show I watch now and it really has held up and a a good western drama. Really like John Smith and Robert Fuller. Almost all the old cowboy actors are gone now.
No, Shelley Fabares.
No, Shelley Fabares.
RIP.
That wonderful pantomime was the first thing I thought of. I was lucky enough to have seen it’s first broadcast as a child. Cid Caesar’s show was one of my parents favorites.
CD’s ? I’ve got the 78’s and the Victrola crank in hand.
Dur Fuehrer’s Face is one of my favorites.

I’m addicted to Gunsmoke now. Other than that it’s the old movies on Turner. Anything else on TV is from another planet. Even Fox News is boring.

Then came Heather Locklear
they all seemed to marry rock stars.
