Yes, I heard about that this morning. Did he have medical issues?

Pancreatic cancer, according to Wikipedia, but all the trauma can't have helped his constitution.

She starred with the best of Hollywood: opposite Bogart in “Beat the Devil,” She was Esmerelda to Anthony Quinn’s Quasimodo in the 1956 adaptation of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” and the Queen of Sheba to Yul Brynner’s King Solomon in King Vidor’s 1959 Technicolor epic “Solomon and Sheba.” A legend in her own time.

there aren't enough famous people dying off. Sometimes we have to wait almost a whole week to hear about a new one.
