Carole Cook, 'Sixteen Candles' actor and Lucille Ball mentee, dies days before turning 99

LOS ANGELES — Actor Carole Cook, known for her work in "Sixteen Candles" and "The Lucy Show," has died. She was 98.

Cook's manager, Robert Malcom, told the Los Angeles Times that the actor "went peacefully" and was with her husband, actor Tom Troupe, when she died Wednesday in Beverly Hills. Mark Cocanougher, Cook's nephew, also announced the news on Facebook.

"Carole departed in peace and comfort having lived a long and wonderful life doing the work that she loved," Cocanougher wrote. "She made many friends, and I know they will all miss her spirit, humor, and talent on the stage, and for life in general. And that's pretty great."
