Daughters Begin Woman's Obituary By Saying "The Witch Is Dead'

The family of a 70-year-old woman who recently passed away started her obituary with a reference to a wicked witch before they mentioned that she was a loving mother and a devoted wife.

However, her daughters said Johanna Scarpitti — whose obituary in The News Journal began with “Ding dong the witch is dead” — wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

Scarpitti’s youngest daughter, who helped write the obituary, told the paper that her mother made her promise to include a tribute to the 1939 film, “The Wizard of Oz.”

Lauren Bacall Dead At 89 - Another Hollywood Icon Passes On

I'm saddened to hear the passing of Lauren Bacall, another icon of Hollywood. She was 89.

Bacall, who made a career of playing smart, tough beauties, died Tuesday morning of a stroke in her longtime home near Central Park, New York.

Bacall and her first husband, Humprey Bogart, were one of the most popular Hollywood couples, onscreen and off, and their 11-year marriage was the stuff of romantic lore. In 1981, their love provided the lyrics for a 1981 pop hit “Key Largo” — “We had it all, just like Bogie and Bacall.”

They met just before they filmed her first movie, To Have and Have Not (1944), directed by Howard Hawks, her mentor. Although only 19, Bacall and her smoldering cool was the perfect match for the 44-year-old Bogart and his tough guy-persona.

Her best-remembered films, many of them considered classics, were with Bogart: To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep (1946), Dark Passage (1947) and Key Largo (1948).
