Bought a Faye Adams ("Shake a Hand," 1953) compilation at a record show today; her Wikipedia page indicates she may or may not still be alive at the age of 101.
According to music writer and rhythm and blues historian Marv Goldberg, he located a single source, albeit without a written obituary, stating that a "Fannie Jones" (Tuell's married name), died aged 93, on November 2, 2016, but this has not been confirmed as being the famous singer.

"anjelica huston(she's not even very old -- 73 -- but for some reason i thought she was no longer with us)"
I was surprised to find out that her first film was Ice Pirates, one of those mid-80s 3D-is-back films - like Spacehunter or Jaws 3D. Except that it wasn't in 3D! It feels as if it should have been.
She was a space barbarian swordswoman. The film looks like one of those 1960s Italian productions where they had a lot of fun making the sets, viz Barbarella or Fellini Satyricon, and yet it's a mid-80s American sci-fi film.
There is an alternative world where it was a huge hit and Anjelica Huston went on to be one of the most popular action stars of the 1980s.

xp to Ashley, actually Anjelica Huston was in the John Huston-directed A Walk with Love and Death back in 1969, a film I somehow saw in a cinema (much later). Can't remember anything about it except she rides a horse and it's in Europe.

I seem to recall that her performance in Prizzi's Honor was considered a revelation because the 1969 film was met with lots of proto-nepobaby criticism. Haven't heard anyone discuss Prizzi's Honor in years.

Eh... she'd been in dozens of films before that (including This is... Spinal Tap).
She had a high profile as a model and her dad cast her in lots of things, for example she was ~almost~ the lead in Zeffirelli's Romeo & Juliet until her dad cast her as the lead in A Walk with Love and Death some 15 years before Ice Pirates.
― imperial frfr (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 23 April 2025 17:06 (one week ago)
One of the things I was shockingly old before I learned was that Anjelica Huston had actually been in several films before Ice Pirates, including This is Spinal Tap. In fact she made her screen debut 15 years earlier!
I learned this from the website Ilxor.

― Nuts, whole hazelnuts (Tom D.), Wednesday, 23 April 2025 21:47 (one week ago)
I didn't realise it was Anjelica Huston. I mentally associate her with a bob hairstyle, but in Tap she looks very different.
NB Her character created the Stonehenge replicas, so she has a small-but-pivotal role.
