Actress Janis Paige who pla*** Goldie Williamson in "Blueprint for Murder" has died aged 101

Is she the longest lived Columbo guest star?

I would think so. Dick Van **** is currently 98, so he has a shot.

I thought she was terrific in "A Blueprint for Murder". Glad she had such a long and fruitful life.

She was great.

Along with everything else, the friendly relationship between Goldie and Jennifer is believable.
(I get so tired of the "first wife and second wife who hate each other" tradition.)

Her forte was musicals and wouldn't have looked out of place in Forgotten Lady!

I'm afraid I've never really known her from them. The only one I can name is the Martin and Lewis comedy LIVING IT UP (with Grace Wheeler herself, Janet Leigh), and I think that that's one single scene.
It's funny that in one scene Goldie is dressed in something like a Broadway musical costume, which looks like some little reference to that.

I think I was wrong about that film. I think it was Sheree North (SOMEONE ELSE that I don't really know from her musical career).

Janis Paige was great as Goldie. She certainly had a good innings. The only Columbo guest star that I can think of who has lived longer than that is Nehemiah Persoff, who pla*** the murder victim Jesse Jerome in "Now You See Him" (1976). Born in August 1919, he died at the age of 102 in April 2022.
