YoungWillz 21,023 Posted May 15, 2019 Machiko Kyo has a Washington Post obit, but I don't think it counts here? I dunno, I only recently rejoined the fray. It's not as if we in Europe can read it anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,514 Posted May 16, 2019 Eileen Bennett was still alive in 2018 at least. See this video about two minutes in: Her son is the Sound of Music actor Nicholas Hammond who keeps an infrequently updated Twitter account, and he's not mentioned her passing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
