I'm not trying to detract from the immense sadness of the woman's passing, but come now. Who says, "I'll be happy to talk to you tomorrow!" to the Associated Press after someone dies? Awww, my little inner conspiracy theorist just came out, yelling, "HE DID IT! INVESTIGATE!"
Betty was 86.

Certainly not Jean Valjean.

RIP Betty Hutton, and speaking of Judy Garland, there is an exciting and popular new group on Yahoo called THE JUDY GARLAND EXPERIENCE. The group features hours of ultra rare and unreleased downloadable audio files by Judy, great photo’s, lively discussion, and more! The membership is the most ecletic gathering of Garland fans anywhere and includes Judy’s family members, friends, people who worked with her and saw her perform, directors and producers of Garland related projects, authors of Judy biographies, historians, and more! The only thing missing is you. Please stop by our little Judyville, and check it out, you may never want to leave.
