Hollywood and Broadway Actress Celeste Holm Passes

   Popular and longtime actress Celeste Holm died at her apartment in Manhattan today.  She was 95.
   A star on Broadway, she came to fame in "Oklahoma" and later won an Oscar for "Gentlemen's Agreement".
   But her later years were filled with financial hardship and estrangement from her sons. Holm had a heart attack last week while being treated for dehydration, her niece reported.
    He main career was on the live Broadway stage, where she was often cast as the wistful or brittle sophisticate.
   Her sons had set up a trust for her, and when she remarried, she tried to break it, which cost her a lot of her fortune.
