Oscar-winning actress dies at 95
NEW YORK (AP) – Celeste Holm, a versatile, bright-eyed blonde who soared to Broadway fame in “Oklahoma!” and won an Oscar in “Gentleman’s Agreement” but whose last years were filled with financial difficulty and estrangement from her sons, died Sunday, a relative said. She was 95.
Holm had been hospitalized about 2 weeks ago with dehydration. Friday, she asked her husband Frank Basile, to bring her home; she spent her final days with her husband and other relatives and close friends by her side, said Amy Phillips, a great-niece of Holm’s.
Holm died around 3:30 a.m. at her longtime apartment on Central Park West, in the same building where Robert De Niro lives and where a fire broke out last month, Phillips said.
