Mitzi Gaynor, the effervescent dancer and actor who starred as Nellie Forbush in the 1958 film of 'South Pacific' and appeared in other musicals with Bing Crosb
FILE - Actress Mitzi Gaynor attends the 2013 TCM Classic Film Festival Opening Night Gala screening of "Funny Girl" at the TCL Chinese Theatre on April 25, 2013 in Hollywood, California.
Gaynor, among the last survivors of the so-called golden age of the Hollywood musical, died of natural causes in Los Angeles on Thursday morning, her long-time managers Rene Reyes and Shane Rosamonda confirmed in a statement shared on social media. Her entertainment career spanned eight decades across film, television and the stage, but she is best remembered for her turn in “South Pacific.”
Later in her career, Gaynor reinvented herself as a performing entertainer. Under the guidance of her husband-manager, Jack Bean, she starred in her own musical revue, earning top money in Las Vegas, Florida and theaters and auditoriums throughout the U.S. and Canada and in England and Australia as well.
