| Joan Fontaine (l.) with her sister Olivia DeHavilland |
Here's part 2 of notable passings in 2013. There are plenty of well known people in this installment including Joan Fontaine, Roger Ebert, James Gandolfini, Edyie Gorme, etc. There is one person who may have been forgotten: Kelly Garrett, not to be confused with the Charlie's Angels character, she was a terrific singer who appeared in three Broadway shows in the 1970s and seemed t be on TV all the time back then. I always loved her powerful voice.
Deanna Durbin, 91, songbird of Hollywood’s Golden Age, she warbled her way through such films as “Three Smart Girls,” “One Hundred Men and a Girl,” and “Can’t Help Singing.”

Roger Ebert, 70, influential film critic for the Chicago
Sun-Times, in 1975, he became the first film critic to win the Pulitzer Prize,
co-hosted popular film-review programs first on PBS, then in syndication, these
included “Sneak Previews” and “At the Movies” with Gene Siskel, then, after
Siskel’s death, “Roger Ebert & the Movies” with rotating co-hosts and
“Ebert & Roeper” with Richard Roeper, also of the Sun-Times.
