Beni Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Has died age 101, good innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
been here before Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) 103. Tragedy, no age, taken far too young etc. Both her and Glenn Miller defined an age which even now when you hear the music is still emotive. Crazy to think there are still a few folk kicking around who were born during WWI. Edited June 18, 2020 by been here before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 She was certainly a morale booster during the war. I cannot remember her ever using her popularity for self gain, a very good person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 From a generation when so many stars had a lot of dignity. My mum and dad were very fond of her. Watching the news with my10 year old son. They announce that Very Lynn has died aged 103, my son asked what did she die of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vera you could take home to your mum whereas Anne ...well....the best wartime song is " Lili Marlene" sang by the stunning Dietrich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
