Golden Age Era Actress Passes Away

Janis Paige, a celebrated Hollywood star with a career spanning 60 years, passed away from natural causes at her Los Angeles home at the age of 101. The Golden Age icon’s death on Sunday was confirmed by her longtime friend Stuart Lampert on Monday.

Paige, who performed with comedy legend Bob Hope in Vietnam and danced with Fred Astaire, has been remembered fondly across social media. One admirer wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “What a life. Now that is stardom. From Bob Hope to Fred Astaire. It didn’t get better than that for Janis Paige, I bet.”

Paige made her Broadway debut alongside Jackie Cooper in the mystery-comedy “Remains to be Seen” and appeared three years later in the hit musical “The Pajama Game” with John Raitt. Her film credits include the Bob Hope comedy “Bachelor in Paradise,” the Doris Day comedy “Please Don’t Eat the Daisies,” and “Follow the Boys.”

In 2018, Paige joined the #MeToo movement by sharing her story of being assaulted at 22 by the late department-store heir Alfred Bloomingdale. She wrote, “I could feel his hands, not only on my breasts but seemingly everywhere. He was big and strong, and I began to fight, kick, bite, and scream.” She added, “At 95, time is not on my side, and neither is silence. I simply want to add my name and say, ‘Me too.’”
