Actress, Mary Murphy, has passed away

I just learned that actress, Mary Muphy, passed away on 4 May 2011 from heart disease.
Murphy played the part of Kathy Bleeker opposite Marlon brando (John Strabler) in The Wild One.
Although she made many other movies and starred with many Hollywood leading men, she is probably best known for her role in The Wild One.
Murphy and one other actress were the only surviving members of the primary cast of the movie.

Yep - I remember her well.

I did some research and the other actress, and last primary cast member, Peggy Maley, is still alive and well at age 85.

Didn't she play "Britches" - the blond who was hot for Johnny?

Another actress of that era is gone.

"Britches" was played by Yvonne Doughty and was the girl in the tight white sweater who stopped Johhny in the street and reminded him of the good time they had at a scrambler meet. Johnny blew her off and walked away when he said, "What do you want me to do, send your flowers?"

Peggy Maley was "Mildred" and a hairdresser I believe. She delivered the famous line, "Hey Johnny, what are you rebelling against?"
