Wow. I've been so involved in work and other commitments I haven't listened to news or opened a paper in a week, so I hadn't a clue. Shocking news. Sad. Complicated woman. Great talent.

Oh, that is so sad...RIP. Ava Gardner always listed her, along with Garbo and Miss H, as one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. She lived a long, productive life, anyway...

RIP Ms Horne.
CFK, did hers and Ava's connection come from the Show Boat [movie] fiasca?

I think it was before, but if not it certainly started with Showboat.

They had a special tribute to her at the Oscars last night. Though I'm glad they took some time to recognize her, they should have done it properly and made it longer. I mean, KH got something like six or seven minutes back in '04. But hey, at least they singled the lovely Miss Horne out. And Kirk Douglas got to present.
