Ms. Fabray nearly gave her life for the show. Ms. Fabray had one notable film success: the Comden and Green musical “The Band Wagon” (1953), directed by Vincente Minnelli. Ms. Fabray recalled that her other childhood job was ironing lodgers’ shirts. Besides her son, Ms. Fabray is survived by two grandchildren. After the Caesar show, Ms. Fabray attempted a sitcom of her own, but “The Nanette Fabray Show” (1961), also known as “Westinghouse Playhouse,” lasted less than a season.
