Some death announcements make me say ooh when I first read them. She was so good in And So They Were Married.
LOVE Edith Fellows. She was brilliant, and the most natural actress Ive ever seen. You never saw the 'acting', she just filled her characters with grace and substance. Should've been a major star-Steven Beasley
