Actress Polly Bergen has died

Postby LibraryLady » Sat Sep 20, 2014 3:39 pm

(I had no idea she was still alive!!)

Emmy-winning actress and singer Polly Bergen, who in a long career played the terrorized wife in the original Cape Fear and the first woman president in Kisses for My President, died Saturday, according to her publicist. She was 84.

Bergen died at her home in Southbury, Connecticut, from natural causes, said publicist Judy Katz, surrounded by family and close friends.

A brunette beauty with a warm, sultry singing voice, Bergen was a household name from her 20s onward. She made albums and played leading roles in films, stage musicals, and TV dramas. She also hosted her own variety series, was a popular game show panelist, and founded a thriving beauty products company that bore her name.

In recent years, she played Felicity Huffman’s mother on Desperate Housewives and the past mistress of Tony Soprano’s late father on The Sopranos.

I remember her on I've Got a Secret. I didn't know she did anything else.

I'm with you, that was the only fame I knew she had.

She was not the only one on I've Got a Secret that, IMO, was pretty much unknown except for that show.
