Her death was caused by lung problems related to smoking. She also played occasionally in films and on TV, like on The Sopranos and on Dog Day Afternoon.

Rick Ducommun, actor in The 'Burbs and Groundhog Day, reportedly died. http://moviepilot.com/posts/2015/06/18/comedian-and-scary-movie-actor-rick-ducommun-has-sadly-passed-away-3317757?lt_source=external,manual

 

Now he's been the subject of death hoaxes before, so I'm not taking this as gospel until it's more generally reported, but this is a source.

 

Edit: It's in Variety, I'm taking that as confirmation. His age reported there is 62. http://variety.com/2015/film/news/rick-ducommun-dead-the-burbs-groundhog-day-1201523153/

George Winslow, former child actor (aka George Wentzlaff), 69, heart attack. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jun/22/1950s-child-actor-george-wentzlaff-dies-at-69/

 

He was in Monkey Business and most famously Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. He retired from acting at 12.

 

Edit: From IMDB, this means that all of the credited cast from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes have died.
