Trumans Inaugural Ball and was a bridesmaid at the first of Elizabeth Taylors weddings, died of natural causes today at her home in Wilton, Connecticut. She was 92.
Susan Granger, a friend of the actress and spokesperson for her family, told Deadline that Powell died peacefully at the house she shared for many years with her husband, the actor and publicist Dick Moore, who died in 2015.
Powell, one of the last surviving stars of Hollywoods Golden Age, continued to appear on stage well into the 21st Century, making her career among her generations sturdiest.
