A singer-turned-actress who won an Emmy in 1958 playing torch singer Helen Morgan, then built a career wide enough to include a Tony nomination for Follies, an Oscar-nominated dramatic turn in Cape Fear opposite Robert Mitchum, her own variety show, and a long-running seat on the panel of To Tell the Truth. She kept working into her eighties, taking roles on The Sopranos and Desperate Housewives, and wrote three books on beauty and style along the way.
