Award-winning actress Nanette Fabray, known for her roles in “The Band Wagon” and “Caesar’s Hour,” passed away Thursday at 97 years old, according to her family. Fabray’s son, Dr. Jamie MacDougall, told The Associated Press that his mother died at her home in Palos Verdes Estates. He told the Los Angeles Times that she passed away from natural causes. The starlet began her successful career at the age of 3, singing and dancing in Vaudeville performances as "Baby Nanette." Over the course of decades in show business, Fabray racked up a number of accolades. She earned a Tony award for her role in the 1948 musical “Love Life,” as well as a nod for her part in “Mr. President.” She earned three Emmy awards – two for “Caesar’s Hour” and one for best comedienne, the Times reported. Fabray starred opposite Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse in “The Band Wagon,” which debuted in 1953. In the musical, she performed the song “Triplets,” along with Astaire and Jack Buchanan, according to the Times. Her television roles included playing Bonnie Franklin’s mother in the hit 1980s sitcom “One Day at a Time,” Mary Tyler Moore’s mother on her namesake show and the mother of Shelley Fabares, her real-life niece, in the 1990s show, “Coach.” Link Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | ||

I only remember her as being on game shows. You Bet Your Life, or Hollywood Squares or something. | |||

Thanks for the last sentence. The name was familiar but couldn't place her. RIP "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||
