PHOENIX – Dorothy McGuire Williamson, who teamed with sisters Christine and Phyllis for a string of hits in the 50s and 60s as the popular McGuire Sisters singing group, has died.
Williamson died Friday at her son's home in the Phoenix suburb of Paradise Valley, daughter-in-law Karen Williamson said. She had Parkinson's disease and age-related dementia.
The McGuire Sisters earned six gold records for hits including 1954's "Sincerely" and 1957's "Sugartime." The sisters were known for their sweet harmonies and identical outfits and hairdos.

The McGuire Sisters were a very important part of the great,great music of the 50’s which,along with the 60’s,were the two best decades *ever* for music.

You got the wrong person. The actress passed away in 2001.

Yep, no tattoos, no thigh-high boots, no crotch-grinding, and you could actually understand every word they were singing! But the Communists assure us that the ‘50’s were evil, unrealistic and oppressive/s
RIP Dorothy!

You're right, of course.
Silly mistake!
As penance, I've attached a link to their last public appearance on a 2004 PBS broadcast in which they reprise all their "oldies" hits.
Hope you enjoy it!
