Craig Ferguson got it wrong. She wasn't a vampire.

The woman was older than commercially available sliced bread.

You know how theater people are, she was probably already past 100, but wanted to be seen as younger.
So, this makes Big Celebrity Death #3. (maybe)
John Madden, Harry Reid, and Betty White.
In Harry’s last five years, he became kind of a political celebrity or influencer. Similar to “Snakehead”.

May she rest in everlasting peace.
To: Tench_Coxe
she was around when people like Al Capone, Vito Genovese, Dutch Schultz, Jack “Legs” Diamond, Charles “Lucky” Luciano, John Dillinger, Bugsy Siegel, Bonnie and Clyde, “Baby Face” Nelson, Ma Barker, and “Pretty Boy” Floyd, the Barrow Gang, and many more were alive and operating-
Bet she probably remembered reading newspaper articles about them as they happened or shortly after- plus loads and loads of history making achievements- -

I really wanted her to hit the 100 mark. She just missed by a hair.
RIP and thanks for all the laughs.
To: Skywise

I first saw her as a kid on the old Match Game show. The other celebrity was quarterback Y.A. Tittle.
