As a little girl watching Mitzi in South Pacific, I was blown away by her beauty and talent and voice and presence!!!! "I´m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out Of My Head" is one of my favorites!! My condolences to her family and friends, she will be missed.....forever loved and enjoyed on film!!!

RIP. A wonderful entertainer and actress. "Honey Bun" is one of my favorite musical performances. Ms. Gaynor also did a fine job in "The Joker is Wild". God Bless.
