Anjanette Comer, the actress whose career seemed to stall just as it was about to soar, died on May 28 at UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center. She was 86. A death certificate filed with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health confirmed her passing and cited leukemia and heart issues as her causes of death.
Comer’s name appeared in the 1960s as a rising star, but her choices kept her from becoming a household name. She was offered the chance to star opposite Robert Redford in "Barefoot in the Park" and alongside Warren Beatty in "Bonnie and Clyde," both landmark 1967 films.
