I don’t want to sign up. What did she die from? I always loved Sheree North.

I don’t want to sign up. What did she die from? I always loved Sheree North.

From the LA Times article:

North, who had been in good health, died unexpectedly Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center of complications following surgery, said her daughter, Dawn Bessire of Santa Monica.

Thanks for that link! Man. That’s a huge drag.

She was Jewell Everett, the photgrapher/forger in “Charley Varrick” - one of my all time favorite movies. Good actress - I’m sorry she’s gone.

Jeez, Jean Carson and Sheree North the same weekend . . . I guess God needed a coupla hard-boiled broads up in heaven.

I don’t think Sheree North was literally a stand-in for Marilyn Monroe: the obit says,

Hollywood insiders originally whispered that 20th Century Fox hired North only as a threat to the troublesome Monroe — whom she did replace in the 1955 “How to Be Very, Very Popular,” in which she outdanced and outshone the leggy Betty Grable. North not only shared Monroe’s blond coiffure but almost exactly matched her height and measurements.

Has anyone noticed how different Sheree North looked in the 1970s from how she looked in the 1950s? Almost like a different woman! Sexier in her 40s, too.

That was her? Dag, she was hot cookies in that flick. And kinky…

And she could have done a lot better than Newman.
