RIP Morgana King

Morgana King, the acclaimed jazz stylist who released dozens of albums but is perhaps best known for portraying the wife of Marlon Brando's Don Vito Corleone in the first two Godfather films, has died. She was 87.

King died March 22 of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in Palm Springs, a representative from the Riverside County coroner’s office toldThe Washington Post. Her death had gone unreported until a friend, John Hoglund, wrote about her this week on Facebook.
