Kathryn Grayson, whose beauty and lilting soprano voice brightened such popular MGM musicals of the 1940s and 1950s as "Anchors Aweigh," "Show Boat" and "Kiss Me Kate," has died at age 88.
Grayson died Wednesday at her Los Angeles home, the actress' longtime secretary and companion, Sally Sherman, told The Associated Press.
"She just went to sleep and didn't wake up," Sherman said Thursday.
Grayson's youthful ambition was to sing opera, but she wasn't able to accomplish that dream until after her movie career ended. While still a teenager, she was placed under contract at MGM at a time when the studio was assembling a stable of musical talent that would dominate the era of great musicals.

Incredibly beautiful and a voice of an angel, one of the greatest female singers of the 20th century. We have these lovely videos has a lasting memory so that other generations can appreciate Kathryn's incredible voice.

Deanna Durbin is also left-handed. It would appear that gifted persons are the right-brained ones among us.

@timofpennstate MGM's 1951 Showboat "After the Ball" is on YouTube.
I just watched it prior to this video. God Bless Kathryn. I grew up watching Showboat and it remains one of my favorite movies. Her rendition was absolutely beautiful.

Did she indeed sing opera after her movie career ended? Any online references?
Lanza went the other way, and never lived long enough to return to the stage.

@foxyzzzzz She did sing opera at the end of her career. If you want futher info I would try the official Kathryn Grayson website, Wikipedia, and her Find a Grave memorial page.

What a sweet video! I found out Kathrin was left handed like me. She is the first left hand classic star I know...

If it interests you to know, stars like Judy Garland, Betty Grable, and Orson Welles were left-handed too.
