Every day that passes, it seems like so does another iconic legend in the world of Hollywood. Kathryn Crosby was an actor, singer, mother, and widow to the famous Oscar-winning actor Bing Crosby. Kathryn Crosby’s life was filled with love, loss, performance, generosity, and inspiration. Here is everything you need to know about the family and the legendary Kathryn Crosby’s passing.
The Crosby Family
Kathryn Crosby originally married Bing in 1957, when she was 23 years old and he was 54. The couple met while Kathryn Crosby was doing interviews for a column she wrote about in her hometown newspaper. After Kathryn and Bing had become married, Kathryn pivoted her career and focused mostly on family and becoming a nurse, which she succeeded in doing in 1963. Kathryn and Bing had three children: Harry, Mary (who is best known for her work on the TV show Dallas), and Nathaniel, who has become a successful golfer. Kathryn had remarried to Maurice Sullivan for a short ten years before his tragic passing in a car accident.
Remembering Kathryn Crosby
The iconic singer and actor was known for many productions like The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Anatomy of a Murder, and Operation Mad Ball. She originally went by the stage name Kathryn Grant and performed alongside the likes of Tony Curtis in Mister Cory (1957). Mrs. Crosby also performed with Victor Mature in the Big Circus (1959). Kathryn did not stop there; she also made five movies with Phil Karlson. Later on, in the 1970s, she would go on to host a talk show on KPIX-TV. Once she was married to Bing, Kathryn halted her acting career; however, she would make appearances in Bing’s Christmas special along with their children. Kathryn would also make frequent appearances in Minute Maid commercials.
Kathryn Crosby passed away at the age of 90 in her Northern California Hillsborough home. Before her passing, she would also spend much of her time at their San Francisco family manor, where she would record performances and speeches of herself for her annual golf tournament that she hosted since 2001. The performances would include her singing some of her favorite songs alongside a live piano player, combined with a heartfelt speech to the golfers attending the tournament. Even in her late years, her last performances emitted passion, skill, and class, much like she did her whole life.
Final Thoughts
The mother, singer, actor, and college graduate, had lived an incredible life filled with extravagance. Many will remember her for her appearances in productions like the 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Anatomy of a Murder, and Operation Madball; however, she had accomplished much more than that within her 90 years of life. Kathryn Crosby, the iconic Hollywood legend, will be missed by fans everywhere.
