Actress Jean Simmons has passed away at the age of 80. She is being remembered chiefly for her movie roles - twice nominated for an Oscar, she appeared in "Hamlet", "Elmer Gantry", "Spartacus", "Great Expectations" and "Guys And Dolls". On television, she won an Emmy for the mini-series "The Thorn Birds" and played Miss Havisham in a production of "Great Expectations", which marked her second time in an adaptation of that Dickens novel. (She played Miss Havisham's companion Estella in the 1940s movie version.)But for all of me here at Toobworld Central, Ms. Simmons will always be fondly remembered as Princess Lydia of Lichtenburg in an episode of 'The Odd Couple'. And this would be so even if her fictional country didn't serve as a link to the TV series 'Saved By The Bell'.....
As Red Skelton would say, good night, Ms. Simmons, and may God bless......
