Mitzi Gaynor, a legendary actress known for her roles in 'South Pacific' and for collaborating with Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby, has passed away at the age of 93.

Nellie Forbush, famously portrayed by Mitzi Gaynor in the classic 1958 film "South Pacific," passed away on Thursday in Los Angeles at the age of 93.

The actress' long-time managers, Rene Reyes and Shane Rosamonda, confirmed that Gaynor died from natural causes, as stated in a statement to The Associated Press.

"We express our gratitude to her friends, fans, and the countless audiences she entertained throughout her life as we honor her legacy. Your love, support, and appreciation were invaluable to her and sustained her throughout her journey."

For eight decades, Gaynor's career in Hollywood flourished as she graced television screens, movie theaters, and stages. Notable films in her repertoire include "We’re Not Married!" and "There’s No Business Like Show Business," but it was her role in "South Pacific" that truly catapulted her to fame.

While "South Pacific" won an Academy Award for best sound, she received a Golden Globe nomination for best actress.

Following the success of "South Pacific," Gaynor shifted to television, appearing in "Here Comes Donald" and "The Jack Benny Hour."

In 1959, Gaynor made history as the first woman to appear as a guest star alongside Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, and Jimmy Durante on "The Frank Sinatra Timex Show."

As a stage performer, Gaynor became the highest-paid female entertainer in Las Vegas before the end of her career. She then took her theater performance on tour through several countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

"In a 2003 interview, Gaynor stated that touring has been a significant part of her life. She enjoys revisiting familiar locations and considers them like meeting old friends. After performances, individuals approach the dressing room to reconnect with the performers. Every Christmas, they send out nearly 3,000 cards to maintain these relationships."

Jack Bean, Gaynor's husband and manager, aided her in launching her stage performance career. The couple tied the knot in 1954 and did not have any children. Sadly, Bean passed away in 2006.
