Subject: US singer Kaye Stevens dies aged 79
Written By: Philip Eno on 01/01/12 at 3:58 pm
Kaye Stevens, the US singer and actress known for her appearances with the Rat Pack and on Johnny Carson's chat show, has died in Florida.
The 79-year-old, who had breast cancer, died on Wednesday at a hospital north of Orlando, a close friend said.
Born Catherine Stevens in Pittsburgh in 1933, she started out as a drummer and singer before going on to act in movies and television shows.
In 1963 she was nominated for a Golden Globe for her film role in The Interns.
Stevens performed with Frank Sinatra and other members of the Rat Pack, including Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.
She also sang solo in Las Vegas and New York and performed for US soldiers during the Vietnam war.
In the 1970s she was a regular panellist on TV game shows and had a recurring role on the soap opera Days of Our Lives.
She later started her own ministry and helped to build a church in the Florida city of Margate, where a park was named in her honour.

Well Demi Moore is still in the limelight and Rob Lowe is fairly active.
I wish Ally Sheedy would do more stuff.

Being a pack, like the Rat Pack, is more than just being tagged with the name. They never really were a pack, just some young actors with marketers who wanted to make them appear to be more than they were(are).

Humphrey Bogart was the original leader of the rat pack. Legend has it that they were named by Bogey's wife, Lauren Bacall, who observed the motley crew after they had returned from a trip to Vegas. She said "You look like a %$#@%@ rat pack!", and the name stuck. ;D
