A beloved Hollywood actress celebrated for her roles in iconic films like Lady Sings the Blues (1972), The Ten Commandments (1956), and The Blues Brothers (1980), was tragically found deceased in her Altadena home on Sunday evening. The 95-year-old star, who had retired from the limelight but remained a cherished figure in the entertainment industry, became one of the many victims of the devastating wildfires currently ravaging Los Angeles County. Authorities confirmed that her home was destroyed by the rapidly spreading Eaton Fire, which erupted on Tuesday and consumed the northeast region of Los Angeles.

Curry’s family had reported her missing earlier, after she failed to appear at an evacuation center. Loved ones had hoped she had sought refuge elsewhere, but their worst fears were confirmed when her remains were discovered among the rubble of her home. The news sent shockwaves through Hollywood and her fan base, with tributes pouring in to honor the legendary actress whose charm and talent graced the silver screen for decades.

The Eaton Fire, one of the most destructive blazes in recent history, has forced thousands of residents to flee their homes, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Curry’s passing underscores the human toll of these wildfires, which have been exacerbated by severe drought conditions and high winds. Firefighters continue to battle the inferno, but containment has been challenging, with flames consuming entire neighborhoods and displacing countless families.
