Shirley Bell R.I.P.

by gregbell 1/27/2010 12:43:00 PM

The actress who played Little Orphan Annie on radio has passed away at age 89. Shirley Bell Cole actually died on January 12th in Arizona, but the news was reported this week. Here is a link to a Chicago Tribune Obituary  and here is ANOTHER.

I have also included some photos of her below (and before you ask, even though we are both from Illinois and shared a surname, we were not related, as far as I know).
