FILE - Bob Hope and Janis Paige hug during the annual Christmas show in Saigon, Vietnam, Dec. 25, 1964. Paige, a popular actor in Hollywood and in Broadway musicals and comedies who danced with Fred Astaire, toured with Bob Hope and continued to perform into her 80s, has died Sunday, June 2, 2024, of natural causes at her Los Angeles home, longtime friend Stuart Lampert said Monday, June 3. – She was 101.
“I could feel his hands, not only on my breasts, but seemingly everywhere. He was big and strong, and I began to fight, kick, bite and scream,” she wrote. “At 95, time is not on my side, and neither is silence. I simply want to add my name and say, ‘Me too.’" Her salary rose to $1,000 weekly as the studio kept her busy in lightweight films such as"Two Guys from Milwaukee,""The Time, the Place and the Girl," Love and Learn,""Always Together,""Wallflower" and"Romance on the High Seas," which marked Doris Day’s film debut.
She took her talents to Broadway, where she starred in “Remains to Be Seen” , and starred as Babe opposite Raitt as Sid in the original production of “The Pajama Game,” directed in 1954 by George Abbott. In May 2003, Paige resumed entertaining after a long absence. She opened a show she called"The Third Act" at San Francisco's Plush Room. She told stories about Astaire, Frank Sinatra and others and sang tunes from her films and stage musicals.
"We always had enough to eat," Paige told the Saturday Evening Post in 1963,"but nothing to spare. My mother worked so hard. And she used to keep saying that she wished I'd been born a boy, so I could help out more. I always wanted to be a success for her, to make up for my father."
