AMERICAN ACTRESS SAVAGE DIES

Actress ANN SAVAGE has died in her sleep aged 87.
The star, who earned a cult following as a femme fatale in 1945 movie Detour, passed away on Christmas Day (25Dec08) at a nursing home from complications following a series of strokes, according to her manager, Kent Adamson.
Savage's acting debut came in 1943 crime story One Dangerous Night, and she made more than 30 films in the 1950s.
Her Hollywood career faded in the mid-1950s, but she had a resurrection after starring in Canadian cult filmmaker Guy Maddin's 2008 movie My Winnipeg.
Savage married three times, and her last husband and long-time manager, Bert D'Armand, passed away in 1969. She has reportedly been buried next to him at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.
