US actress Mitzi Gaynor, who starred as Nellie Forbush in the 1958 film South Pacific and appeared in musicals with Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly, has died at the age of 93.
Gaynor, among the last survivors of the so-called golden age of the Hollywood musical, died of natural causes in Los Angeles on Thursday morning, her long-time managers Rene Reyes and Shane Rosamonda confirmed in a statement to the Associated Press.
"As we celebrate her legacy, we offer our thanks to her friends and fans and the countless audiences she entertained throughout her long life," Reyes and Rosamonda said in a joint statement.
