I'll always remember her as the scared and innocent girl in the Pink Panther sequel, "A Shot in the Dark". R.I.P.

We've lost some amazing women as of late, including the fabulous Dolly Parton.😟

Not to put too fine a point on it, but one of my favorite actresses died this month also - Eva Marie Saint.

Screenshot 2026 10 29 140258

She was in the Hitchcock movie, "North by Northwest" with Cary Grant. Born 7/4/1924 died 10/6/2026 102 years old.

Seems like so many celebrity deaths in the last couple of weeks.

RIP, Elke.
