Legendary actress della reese dies age 86 #comments

I'm so sorry to hear that Della Reese, the legendary actress and gospel singer, has passed away at the age of 86. She was a talented and iconic figure in the entertainment industry, best known for her roles in the TV series "Touched by an Angel" and "The Royal Family".

Della Reese was born on July 6, 1931, in Mound Bayou, Mississippi, and began her career as a gospel singer, releasing her debut album "Della Reese" in 1957. She went on to become a popular singer, releasing several albums and singles, including the hit song "Don't You Know".

In addition to her music career, Reese also had a successful acting career, appearing in numerous TV shows and films, including "The Royal Family", "Picket Fences", and "Touched by an Angel", for which she won a Golden Globe Award.

Reese was also a devoted wife and mother, and was married to Franklin Thomas Lett from 1953 until his death in 1969. She had one son, Franklin M. Lett, who is also her manager.

Della Reese will be deeply missed by her fans and the entertainment industry, but her legacy will live on through her incredible body of work and the countless lives she touched through her music and acting.

Rest in peace, Della Reese.
