Viewers were confused when the Academy Awards‘ In Memoriam segment left out one notable person — actress Carol Channing, who died in January.
Channing, the saucer-eyed, gravelly voiced Broadway barnstormer whose offbeat personality and marquee value fueled such Golden Age musicals as Gentleman Prefer Blondes and Hello, Dolly!, died at 97 on Jan. 15 of natural causes.
Many people watching the Oscars were confused by Channing’s omission.
