Burt Lancaster
SHELLEY WINTERS
Long-time celebrity actress Shelley Winters (age 85), passed away in a Beverly Hills, California nursing home. Ms Winters had a long, distinguished career as a character actress spanning over 55 years. She won two Oscars, one for ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’ in 1959 and one for ‘Patch of Blue’ in 1965. In addition, she was nominated for two others: ‘A Place in the Sun’ in 1951 and ‘The Poseidon Adventure’ in 1972. Altogether, she appeared in 130 films and TV movies. Ms Winters was a Method actress who lived with celebrity superstar comedic actress Marilyn Monroe in Hollywood in the 1950 when they both studied Method acting at the Actor’s Studio under the famed acting teacher Lee Strasberg.
She died at a Beverly Hills nursing home early on Saturday, having suffered a heart attack in October.
Winters, who won Oscars for The Diary of Anne Frank and A Patch of Blue, was best known for her role in 1972 disaster movie The Poseidon Adventure.
She was equally famous for her romances with some of Hollywood’s leading men including Errol Flynn and Clark Gable.
“I am so sad. She was a great person and a genius to work with,” said Roseanne Barr in a statement. “We will all miss her.”
The pair starred together in the 1990s show Roseanne, with Winters playing Roseanne’s grandmother.
“Shelley was an idol of mine – and many – an extraordinary woman with powerful charisma, enormous talent and a keen, perceptive mind,” said longtime friend and actress Connie Stevens.
Monroe’s roommate
Winters’ career spans six decades, beginning with an uncredited part in 1943′s What a Woman!
In the 1980s Winters wrote two autobiographies, Shelley, Also Known as Shirley, and Shelley II: The Middle of My Century, in which she detailed her relationships with a string of Hollywood stars including Marlon Brando, Burt Lancaster and William Holden.
The books became bestsellers, but her trademark frankness meant that talk show hosts “only want to know about my love affairs,” Winters later said.

Local Hero (1983 Film) $5.28 This soundtrack (along with Ry Cooder’s for Paris, Texas and Ennio Morricone’s for Once Upon a Time in America, to name two other examples) is the kind of music that CDs were made for. Some of it is so delicate, so quiet, that it could disappear underneath the rumble and noise of a vinyl LP. You’d never know this was the score to a comedy–even a gentle wisp of a comedy like Bill Forsyth’s p… |
