Actress/singer Betty Garrett has died at the age of 91. The star passed away on Saturday, February 12, a day after she was admitted to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles with heart problems.
Garrett began her career in the 1930s and established herself as a star with a stint in Broadway play "Call Me Mister". The stage performance led her to Hollywood, where she landed roles as Frank Sinatra's love interest in 1949's movie musicals "Take Me Out to the Ballgame” and “On the Town". But her screen ambitions were cut short after her husband, actor Larry Parks, was blacklisted by Hollywood's top executives for his early membership in the Communist Party.
