Jane Powell, who starred as an angelically visaged young actress, has died of natural causes. She was 92.

The blonde, blue-eyed Powell usually played characters with a gentle mischievous streak in her musical comedies, but she would shatter the light-hearted atmosphere of her films when she sang.

Powell was married five times, with three children from the first two marriages.

Her first marriage was to former figure skater Gearhardt “Geary” Anthony Steffen. At their November 1949 wedding, Elizabeth Taylor served as one of her bridesmaids.

Powell married her fifth husband, former child star Dickie Moore, in 1988. Moore predeceased Powell in 2015. She is survived by three children.

Following the death of her husband, Powell sold their Manhattan apartment and relocated permanently to their second home in Wilton, Connecticut, at the age of 86.[74] Powell died of natural causes in Wilton on September 16th.
