This is sad news. I didnt realize she was 90! Guess that's why we havnet seen her on AMc for awhile now. Hope they make some mention of her passing on the show as they did with Mona Kane.
My favorite segment with Myrtle, was when she fell in love with Santa Claus one year.

I didn't know of her, but it's always sad to lose a personality we've enjoyed.

I don't know her either but I read that she had been active in the soap just weeks ago; I imagine Susan Lucci was quite affected.

Kelly Rippa mention the passing of "Myrtle" yesterday. She told a very funny story about when Kelly and Mark had just gotten married.

"Myrtle" didn't realize that they had gotten married to each other. She caught them kissing in the make-up trailer and laid into them about having an affair and how harmful it would be...and how they needed to stop it.

Soul singer Dee Dee Warwick dies at age 63.

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. - Dee Dee Warwick, a soul singer who won recognition for both her solo work and her performances with her older sister Dionne Warwick, has died. She was 63.

Warwick died Saturday at a nursing home in Essex County, said Kevin Sasaki, a family spokesman. She had been in failing health in recent months, he said, and her sister was with her when she died.

Warwick had several hits on the soul and R&B charts in the 1960s and 70s, including "Foolish Fool," "She Didn't Know (She Kept on Talking)" and a version of "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" that was later covered by Diana Ross and The Supremes.

Warwick also was a two-time Grammy Award nominee and sang backup for Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett and others before starting her solo career.

Warwick was the niece of gospel singer Cissy Houston and a cousin of Whitney Houston.

Born in Newark, Warwick was a teenager when she began singing with her older sister in the late 1950s. The two performed as The Gospelaires and also collaborated and sang with the Drinkard Singers, a long-running gospel group that also featured some of the Warwicks' aunts and uncles and was managed by their mother.

Most recently, Warwick provided background vocals for her sister's recent one-woman autobiographical show, "My Music & Me," which played to sold-out crowds in Europe this year. She also performed on the title song from Dionne Warwick's gospel album, "Why We Sing," released January 2008.

I just found a great quote from (and about) Mr Blackwell:

In January, 1984, he called [Streisand] "A boy version of Medusa. She doesn't dress very convincingly as a man," referring to her role in "Yentl". Answered Streisand, "Neither does he." (Streisand was second on his list for 1983, while Joan Collins took the top spot).
