CELESTE HOLM DIES-95

"Holm was hospitalized approximately two weeks ago with dehydration after a fire broke out in actor Robert De Niro's apartment. (Holm lived in the same Manhattan building.) She spent her final days at home with her husband, Frank Basile, and other relatives and close friends by her side, her great-niece, Amy Phillips, told the Reporter. According to Phillips, she died at about 3:30 a.m.
Remember other stars who have died this year
Holm was best known for playing boy crazy Ado Annie in the 1943 Broadway production of Oklahoma! and Bette Davis' best friend in All About Eve. Her other well-known films included The Tender Trap and High Society. She was nominated for three Academy Awards and won in 1947 for best supporting actress for Gentleman's Agreement, in which she played a fashion editor who falls for a journalist played by Gregory Peck..."
