A fine, fine actress. Being a brunette man, I first fell in love with her when she (acting a bit tipsy) sang "If I Were a Bell" in the film "Guys and Dolls."
I always thought she was one of the most beautiful, desirable women I'd ever seen, and had a wonderful voice and was a fine actress. ** sigh **
