She also appeared with Danny Kaye in "The Kid From Brooklyn," "A Song Is Born" and "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty."

She was gorgeous.

[Mears]

I'm probably one of the few Freepers old enough to remember her-----and you,of course.

[Lazamataz]

I weep for a loss of one of my own.

TOP OF DA WORLD MA!!!

[ReaganandDubyaForever]

I'm only 19, but I've seen all those Bob Hope and Danny Kaye movies over and over. There the best.
Rest in Peace Virginia.

I just watched 'Best Years of Our Lives' the other night. What a great movie!
Virginia Mayo was a great actress from the true glory years of Hollywood.
May God bless her soul and may she rest in peace.

I was just a little kid when I saw The Best Years of Our Lives, and it was an old movie then, but I was ga-ga over gorgeous Virginia Mayo (I liked her better than goody-goody Peggy Ann Gardner even if she was bad), and I really wanted to grow up to be like Dana Andrews--almost as much as I wanted to be like Tarzan.

I saw princess & the pirate as a Kid - and fell in love with her. And she was great in Best Years of Our lives.

I'm sorry she's gone. Father time gets us all in the end.

[mewzilla]

I loved her in The Princess and the Pirate.

[Chinito]

But I prefer to remember her as:

[steelyourfaith]

Starred with Ronnie in The Girl From Jones Beach.

[higgmeister]

"A Song Is Born"

that's my favorite!

[wizr]

Ah, yes. Walter Mitty....pocketa, pocketa, pocketa...

[expatpat]

I remember her from a pirate movie, when I was a kid, but don't remember the name. Might have had Errol Flynn in it.

[ikka]

Who wouldn't have wanted to "hold the Mayo" when she was in her prime?

Rest in peace.

For those who mentioned Best Years of Our Lives, Harold Russell's obituary.

[Jhensy]

Whoa, I've been staring at this poster in my basement for years now (an original bought about 20 years ago when I thought I'd start collecting movie posters... it remains my only one.)

That's why the name sounded familiar to me. I had no idea she was still alive. RIP, pretty woman.

And who the hell is George Nader?

[Spaghetti Man]

There are not many movies better then "The Best Years of Our Lives"

[Williams]

For those that don't know the movie Virginia Mayo played an absolutely shallow two timing floozsie who you just had to hate. Great performance but when somebody plays such a baddie you kind of forget the actress and just hate them in the movie.

In the 1949 "White Heat" movie, she was great. As Verna Jarrett she played off beautifully the maniac Cody Jarrett (Cagney), his equally loony mom (Margaret Wycherly), and Big Ed Somers (Steve Cochran), her lover and Cagny's gang rival. She could act!
