I think of her in "All about Eve"
Not too many movie stars left from the 40s and 50s now. I'm thinking Olivia De Havilland, her sister Joan Fontaine, Zsa Zsa, Doris Day ...not too many others.

She also played Estelle Harris, Stephanie's rich aunt on "Archie Bunker's Place." She was at odds with Arch about everything except Stephanie's dad, Floyd Mills, was a no good, drunken, lying, stealing dead beat. Estelle used to take the pubescent Stephanie on shopping trips to get some thing she "really needed." You know, bras and tampons....shhhhh....

I didn't say the movie, but I was thinking about it, Gloria Grahame was Ado Annie in the movie and she was great too.
I believe I saw Celests on an award show or special preforming a song from Oklahoma introducted by John Raitt, whom I believe was Broadway's Curly if I'm not mistaken.
RIP Celeste
