Kathryn Crosby, Actor and Widow of Bing Crosby, Dies at 90


Kathryn Crosby, who appeared in such movies as "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad" and "Anatomy of a Murder" before marrying Bing Crosby, has died. She was 90.

She made five movies with film noir director Phil Karlson, including Tight Spot and The Phenix City Story, both in 1955. She curtailed her acting career after the wedding, although she appeared often with Crosby and their three children on his Christmas television specials and in Minute Maid orange juice commercials. After Crosby’s death at age 74 in 1977, from a heart attack after golfing in Spain, she appeared in stage productions of Same Time, Next Year and Charley’s Aunt.
