Betty Garrett, Sinatra Musical Co-Star and Dirty Commie, Is As Dead As Khrushchev

Kind of rings a bell, doesn't she? Well, in the '40s she danced with the hottest stars of the day, in the '50s she was blacklisted, in the '60s she guest starred on The Fugitive, in the '70s she did sitcoms, in the '80s she did Murder She Wrote, in the '90s she did Boston Public, in the '00s she did Grey's Anatomy, and in the '10s she died and her obits called her a "Character Actress." That's what happens to commies. Still, she will be missed. And really, what have you done in your life? Probably not Jeff Bridges' Godfather. She was 91. Was.  : (

A selection of his masterpieces, after the jump.
