879
June 29, 1916 - January 15, 2005
Today would've been the 97th birthday of a marvelous actress. One note before I begin, some sources give her year of birth as 1915---in a 1999 interview with the Archive of American Television the actress herself said her DOB was 6/29/16 so I will go with that for the purpose of this blog.
