‘Blues Brothers’ actress dies at 95 in LA fire: ‘The loss is devastating’

An actress and entertainer featured in the 1980 movie “The Blues Brothers” has died as a result of the Los Angeles fires.

Dalyce Curry, who also appeared in films such as “The Ten Commandments” and “Lady Sings the Blues,” died in the Eaton Fire. She was 95.

Just before 6 p.m. on Sunday, the LA County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed to her family that the former actress’ remains were found at her burned-down home, according to ABC7 Los Angeles.

Known to her loved ones as Momma D, Curry was last seen on Tuesday when her granddaughter, Dalyce Kelley, dropped her off around midnight at her house in Altadena, California, the area that would be hardest hit by the Eaton Fire.

Kelley, who was Curry’s part-time caregiver, told ABC7 that her grandmother was exhausted when she brought her home, having spent all day at a local hospital.
