June Allyson, Actress and Ojai Resident, Dies at 88

This just hit the wires.

Allyson died Saturday at her home in Ojai, with her husband of nearly 30 years, David Ashrow, at her side, Powell said. She died of pulmonary respiratory failure and acute bronchitis after a long illness.

"I had the most wonderful last meeting with June at her house in Ojai. We had gotten lost in the car. She told me: `I could wait for you forever.' We were such dear friends. I will miss her," lifelong friend Esther Williams said.

Wasn't she the one who started the Hollywood-Ojai craze back in the day? I know there is a significant historical connection here, but perhaps someone out there knows the particulars.

You can ask David Mason, the Ojai florist. They were great friends and he has a beautiful window display in her honor

Demitri, we've missed you! I hope you will regale us with another story soon. Thanks for the tip - he is in the arcade across from the Post Office, right?
