Actress and singer Betty Hutton has died. She was 86.
Her films include Annie Get Your Gun and The Miracle of Morgan's Creek. She also did the original version of "It's Oh So Quiet", a song that was memorably covered by Bjork.
Unlike other actresses who have been called "blond bombshells", Hutton's personality had to do more with humor and energy than sex.

It probably sounds strange (and maybe disrespectful, but I don't mean it that way, certainly), but early on (late 80s) he seemed really troubled. Of course, many comedians do, but he always had this dark edge that made him seem deeply depressed to me.
IMDB lists his birth year as 1957, making him 50 instead of the 45 listed above, which seems much more likely to me.
