DEANNA DURBIN, 91
Died April 20th in Paris where she was in seclusion since 1949. Canadian-born and a major actress in the 30s and 40s. Winston Churchill called her his favorite actress and Anne Frank had her picture on her wall in their secret quarters in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam.
Her hair, make-up and on-screen outfits set fashion trends worldwide.
Her first big movie was "Three Smart Girls at age 13 and she became one of the industry's highest-paid stars. She was passed over for the role of Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz" as she was too old.
