Rene Reyes and Shane Rosamonda, Gaynor’s longtime managers, acknowledged in a statement to The Associated Press that the actress passed away from natural causes.
We extend our gratitude to her friends, admirers, and the innumerable crowds she delighted during her lengthy life as we commemorate her legacy,” a statement said. “Your affection, encouragement, and gratitude were a life-sustaining gift to her and meant a great deal to her.
With appearances on television, in films, and on stage, Gaynor’s Hollywood career lasted for eight decades. “We’re Not Married!” and “There’s No Business” were among her films.
While the screenplay version of “South Pacific” garnered three Oscar nods and took home the Academy Award for best sound, she was nominated for a Golden Globe for best actress.
