Renowned actress Dalyce Curry, celebrated for her iconic roles in Blues Brothers, Lady Sings the Blues, and The 10 Commandments, has passed away at the age of 95. Her life was tragically cut short when her Altadena home was ravaged by the Eaton Fire, a devastating wildfire that swept through areas east of Los Angeles.
According to reports, Curry’s granddaughter was the last to see her, dropping her off at her residence on Tuesday, January 7. The wildfire erupted later that day, prompting widespread evacuations and chaos in the region.
Despite efforts to locate Curry, her granddaughter was unable to access the area due to police barricades. It wasn’t until Sunday, January 12, that authorities confirmed the actress had perished inside her home during the fire.
Curry’s passing is one of at least 24 fatalities linked to the Los Angeles wildfires. Her legacy in the film industry and the memories she leaves behind will be cherished by fans and loved ones alike.
