The Long Career of Nanette Fabray

Actress Nanette Fabray passed away at the age of 97, and I never knew much about her career except for a few memorable appearances on TV and movies, but I will say she always brought a bubbly, smiling cheer to each role. You liked her immediately. Her great triumph in her limited film career was in The Bandwagon showing her dance and singing skills. She was Mary Tyler Moore's mom on TV and was a guest on Carol Burnett's show. What I did not know was....She was a Tony Award winner and picked up a couple of Emmy Awards in the golden age of TV. She was the aunt of Shelley Fabares. A long career indeed.
