Phyllis Thaxter, 92, an actress who had an active film career in the 1940s and '50s and capped it with her portrayal of Clark Kent's mother in the 1978 version of "Superman," died Tuesday at her home in Orlando, Fla., said her daughter, actress Skye Aubrey. She had Alzheimer's disease.
Are there any suspects?
ReplyDeleteAt this point, for any Hollywood survivior over 82, I have to suspect Luise Rainer. She's bound and determined to outlive them all... but even she, I think, underestimates the sheer ill-will that sustains the de Havilland-Fontaine sisters...
ReplyDeletePhyllis was famous enough to make the cover of Life Magazine in the 1950s
