Carol Channing, Broadway's 'Dolly,' Dies At 97

Carol Channing, the star of Broadway classics like Hello, Dolly! who continued performing well into her 90s, has died of natural causes at her home in Rancho Mirage, CA. She was 97.

B Harlan Boll, Channing's publicist, released a statement to Broadway World. It read:

"It is with extreme heartache, that I have to announce the passing of an original Industry Pioneer, Legend and Icon – Miss Carol Channing. I admired her before I met her, and have loved her since the day she stepped … or fell rather … into my life. It is so very hard to see the final curtain lower on a woman who has been a daily part of my life for more than a third of it. We supported each other, cried with each other, argued with each other, but always ended up laughing with each other. Saying good-bye is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, but I know that when I feel those uncontrollable urges to laugh at everything and/or nothing at all, it will be because she is with me, tickling my funny bone."

A native of Seattle, Channing had a distinctive voice and laugh that marked her many decades in show business. Along with Hello, Dolly!, she appeared in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The Vamp and Lorelei. On screen, she received Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations for her performance in Thoroughly Modern Millie and also appeared in the films Skidoo and The First Traveling Saleslady. She gained recognition on television as well, appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show and later on the Hollywood Squares.

Channing was recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Tony Award in 1995 and was inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame in 1981.
