Nurse Nellie

 

Actress Mitzi Gaynor has passed at 93. This singer and dancer was popular in 1950s films especially musicals like There's No Business Like Show Business and Les Girls. She worked with some top names like Gene Kelly, Bing Crosby, and Frank Sinatra and garnered a wider audience in the 1960s with a knockout performance of Georgy Girl at the 1967 Oscars and with a series of musical specials in the 1970s.  But her claim to immortality was in the big screen version of South Pacific in 1958. She will always be Nurse Nellie Forbush.
