Sad. My favorite film that she was in is “High Society” with Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby. If you’ve never seen it, I highly recommend it.
RIP Celeste.

Who could forget Celeste’s riveting performance in the classic film noir “The Love Boat II?”
Students of film, and film critics will take a century or so to deconstruct and perhaps begin to understand “The Love Boat II.”

She used to have a summer home here in NW NJ. I would see her in the checkout line at Shop Rite.
RIP Celeste.

I am afraid Miss Holm's brilliance in the role will be lost in the shadows of artistes Robert (Mr. Brady) Reed, Bert "Love Connection" Convy and Ken "Mayberry RFD" Barry. So much talent can be overwhelming.

No...she was ahead of me, paying for her purchases. :)

I don’t remember her in “Gentlemen’s Agreement”. That could well be because Gregory Peck’s sanctimony sent me into a diabetic shock, and I don’t even have diabetes.

In my mind she will always be the beautiful farmer’s daughter who couldn’t say no either to the Persian Peddler or her cowboy fiancee.

May her soul be at peace with the Lord.

I had to run her in IMDB to see if I remembered right and she was in Chapmagne For Caesar. It is a really funny Vincent Price movie.
