Legendary Hollywood actress Janis Paige has passed away at the age of 101.
The star's close pal Stuart Lampard announced the sad news on Monday, 3 June. Janis died on Sunday at her home in Los Angeles, with her cause of death being put down to natural causes. She was famed for appearing in numerous films as well as Broadway shows, with an incredible career spanning 60 years.
Janis starred in films such as Silk Stockings, Bachelor in Paradise and Two Gals and a Guy. She also had her own TV sitcom, It's Always Jan, and was given a star in the Motion Picture section of the Hollywood Walk of Fame in February 1960. Dozens of fans have paid tribute to the late star on social media following her passing.
Writing on X (formerly Twitter), one person said: "Very sad to report that one of my top favourite actresses of all time died yesterday at the age of 101. RIP Janis Paige, thanks for making every move that you were in special, just by being there." "Janis Paige, RIP at a hundred and two. Her vamp in Please Don't Eat the Daisies is always a pure delight," a second fan penned.
A third wrote: "Prayers and condolences to the family and friends of actress Janis Paige rip." A fourth said: "The beautiful, wonderful and lovely Janis Paige has died at the age of 101. RIP Janis." Others shared clips of her TV and film performances to remember her talent and career. Janis' career kicked off during wartime when she performed an opera aria for servicemen at the Hollywood Canteen, which led to her being signed by MGM for a role in Bathing Beauty.
She was later dropped by MGM, but Warner Bros. snapped up the star and cast her in films. She exited Hollywood after her role in Two Gals and a Guy in 1951, going on to focus on Broadway shows.
