Nanette Fabray, star of stage, screen and TV, dies at 97
LOS ANGELES — Nanette Fabray, the vivacious actress, singer and
dancer who became a star in Broadway musicals, on television as Sid
Caesar's comic foil and in such hit movies as "The Band Wagon," has died
at age 97.
Fabray died Thursday at her home in Palos Verdes Estates, her son, Dr. Jamie MacDougall, told The Associated Press. He said the cause was old age.
"She was an extraordinary woman. Many people referred to her as a force of nature and you could feel it when she walked into the room," her son said Friday. "She just exuded warmth, wit, charm, love, and she touched so many people in so many ways. I hope all of us can look back on our lives and be able to say that at the end of our lives."
Fabray was just 3 when she launched her career as Vaudeville singer-dancer Baby Nanette.
