Kathryn Grayson 1922-2010

Kathryn Grayson passed away yesterday at the age of 88.

"Trained as an opera singer from the age of twelve, Grayson was contracted to MGM and established a career in films from the early 1940s. Most of her films were musicals and after several supporting roles, she was given lead roles in such films as Show Boat (1951) and Kiss Me Kate (1953). " - From Wikipedia.

One thing that I had not known about Kathryn Grayson before was that she performed in many operas, including La Traviata which is my personal favorite. I am a huge lover of opera, and finding this about Ms. Grayson gives her another little soft spot in my heart.

Rest in peace, darling, and thank you for your lovely contributions to this world.

  2. A beautiful woman, to be sure! VERY nice tribute! Devoting yourself to a life in the public eye can be more of a sacrifice than most realize.

  4. Ray Ban サングラスには、色々な思い出があった。初恋の彼女から、初めてのレイバン wayfarerをもらって、レイバン人生が展開。そして、甘酸っぱい初恋が2年で終わって、新しい自分になりたくて、新たなレイバン モデルを購入、渋い感じがするRB3026だった、今でも愛用し続けている。
