Died in 2023 fwiw.

Found by her roommate returning from the holidays on December 30th with a “strong odor” coming from her bedroom. Last seen alive on the 19th.  Taking the “natural causes” reporting with a huge grain of salt on this one.

Why?

 

BTW I've always been puzzled by the American use of the word "roommate".  We would say housemate or flatmate.  In UK English "roommate" means someone you share a bedroom with (not a sexual partner).

I love the way everyone outside of America uses America as the litmus test. Keep striving.

So sad, RIP to her. She was the last surviving actress I guess from Honeymooners

Wow I had no idea there was anyone alive from the honeymooners.. Her name never even popped up for me on searches of old Holywood stars.

It amazed me back in 2007 when I discovered someone from the Honeymooners was still alive. Let alone 2024. Definitely was one of the great "WTF still alive"s for me.

I'm sorry I had a question, what if it is a hoax?  Is this profile a safe source?  I'm not looking at anything on Instagram? Nothing from media and press yet

I've tipped the Hollywood Reporter and other sites.

 

I've seen other tweets apparently announcing it Independently, so should not be a hoax. Also, the fact she is 99 makes it not hard to believe.

*unless any of the June Taylor Dancers are still alive. They were in several episodes and there were 16 of them. Seems to be little detail available online so who knows.

Profile I quoted set up in 2009 with thousands of tweets and self proclaims as a TCM writer. As believable as it gets for X, ha!

 

I always say it is a report and confirmation is always needed to back it up from a reputable news source.

It didn't get shown nationally until 1989, when BBC2 aired most of the episodes. It had been shown regionally by some of the ITV regional companies during the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Will absolutely get an orbit in the NY Times, AP, and Reuters. If she doesn't, I'll be very confused.
