I was sorry to learn actor Shelley Winters had died recently, aged 85. She was a leading US character actress with vaudeville and stage experience.

She made more than 100 films, including What A Woman (1943), and Two-Man Submarine (1944), and, later on, Black Journey (1975), The Visitor (1979) and Portrait Of A Lady (1996).

It's sad so many stars from Hollywood's golden years are no longer with us. At least their legacy remains in their films we can still watch today.
