She had a good long run. She played an excellent feisty broad!

RIP, Ma’am.

A good long life and passed in her sleep with family nearby. Given that leaving this world is not an option, that’s the best way to go.

“Actor?”I did not know she was transgender. Generally a female is actress.

This music was in the background of "The Quiet Man" in several scenes.

This version is sung by Orla Fallon in the original 'Celtic Woman' show. Perfect tone, given the news.

Saw her, last night in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, with Charles Laughton, and Edmund O’Brian. As long as the movies are there, so is she.

Sad.

She was hot as a pistol back in the day.

What a doll!
She tended to play strong female roles, but I bet she was a real sweetheart.
