Fare thee well, Ann Blyth: the Oscar-nominated actress, singer, and star of the 1940s and 50s hath died, aged 98. Forever remembered for her portrayal of the manipulative Veda Pierce in 1945's Mildred Pierce, yet equally capable of charm and warmth in a host of lighter musical roles. Such as in 1948’s Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid (pictured above), in which she appeared opposite William Powell. One of the last living links to Hollywood's Golden Age departs the stage, and the world grows a little stranger — and a little colder — with each passing day.
