@mattleemattlee123 what a great observation you make about her smile, and it is so true about the years melting away. Her spirit was bright.
What a classy lady. I've been in love with her since seeing her in Lost Horizon. Amazingly, when she smiles the years drop away and that beautiful, youthful face still lights up as it did 7 decades earlier.
They absolutely do not make them like her anymore.
