STAR TRAGEDY Anne Whitfield, who played Angela on White Christmas, died in a terrible “unexpected accident” near her home when she was 85 years old.
Her grieving family said she died in a “unexpected accident” while out for a walk near her home in Washington, D.C.
She passed away at Valley Memorial Hospital in Yakima, Washington, on February 15. Her family was there with her.
Her family said: “‘The life of Anne Langham Whitfield Phillips was a beautiful one, with every second used to uplift the world and those around her.”
“Through the kindness of neighbours who provided expert medical support, family had the gift to say goodbye and express love and gratitude, a gift we will always cherish.”
Whitfield’s death notice said, “Annie was able to watch White Christmas with her family during the holidays in December, which was the movie’s 70th anniversary.”
The statement went on to say, “Annie was a great actor, but Los Angeles didn’t have enough trees for her, so in the 1970s she left Hollywood for a new life “up north.”
