The Salina Journal Saturday, September 26, 1987 Page 8 "You're good you're very good." 'Maltese Falcon' star Astor dies at 81 By BOB THOMAS Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES Mary Astor, who survived a steamy Hollywood scandal and went on to play the treacherous temptress Brigid O'Shaughnessy in "'The Maltese Falcon" and star in dozens of other films, died Friday. She was 81. She died of respiratory failure due to pulmonary emphysema, said Motion Picture and Television Country House and Hospital spokeswoman Jean Ferris. The actress had been a longtime resident of the actors' retirement complex. Astor made her screen debut in the silent era at age 14, and was almost a casualty of the transition to talkies.
