Betty HuttonActress Betty Hutton, the spunky star of numerous Paramount musicals and comedies of the 1940s, died last night.

In addition to her Paramount work in the ’40s, Hutton also starred in Annie Get Your Gun at MGM (replacing Judy Garland) and in Cecil B. DeMille’s Academy Award-winning 1952 circus melodrama The Greatest Show on Earth.

Betty Hutton had turned 86 this past Feb. 26.

    You can hear an ultra rare live 1975 rendition of Betty Hutton singing her anthem There’s No Business Like Show Business over at The Judy Garland Experience.

    Thanks for posting this. I’m amazed at the lack of coverage on Betty’s death. She STARRED in so many money-making musicals during the 50s along with other big names! But you can’t find info about her death on the EW site, or at Entertainment Tonight’s site. Not that they are the paragons of entertainment reporting, but still.

    Peace to you, Betty.
