I remember Dorothy in Peyton Place; she was Mia Farrow's mother. I was surprised to see her in Basic Instinct - she looked good.
RIP

My dad likes to read about celebrities who have lived into their nineties. Being 91 himself, it gives him hope, I guess of course he knows these older actors. He's really happy about Doris Day.

For myself, I only see people of celebrity dying younger than me, and that's depressing.

RIP, Dorothy Malone. She was one of the queens of melodrama, no doubt about that. Lots of flaring nostrils. Movies were full of such glamorous escapism during that era.

There are people like her who haven't been seen in ages and it's always a surprise to find out they were still alive and living apparently normal lives.
