Awww... frown

Very sorry to hear about Celeste Holm. She was always one of my favorites.

On Broadway, she was the original Ado Annie in the 1943 production of Oklahoma (on film, the role went to Gloria Grahame). She won an Oscar for her role in the classic 1947 film Gentleman's Agreement.

But, IMO, one of her absolute best roles was opposite Ronald Colman in the 1950 comedy Champagne For Caesar. It's a hilarious must-see satire of TV quiz shows, with a rare acting turn by Art Linkletter (!). Celeste Holm was never better.

R.I.P.
