VANCOUVER — One of the pioneering performers on Canadian television in the 1950s and ’60s has died. Friends and family confirmed to the CBC that Juliette Cavazzi — who performed professionally under only her first name — died overnight Thursday in Vancouver at the age of 91. “Juliette really brought a lot to Canadian culture and it’s gonna be sad not having her around.”She was named a member of the Order of Canada and was honoured on Canada’s Walk of Fame. After the cancellation of “The Juliette Show,” Cavazzi hosted a CBC afternoon talk show in the 1970s. “When you’re no longer front and centre, it hurts,” she told CBC talk show host Bob McLean in 1980.
