Betty Sturm, ‘The World’s Greatest Sinner’ actress, dead at 89 - Fox News

Her son, William Winckler, told Fox News Digital on Monday that the matriarch passed away on Sunday of Alzheimer’s disease.

Sturm described that she liked the patriarch, but due to the dragged-out, year-long shooting schedule, on top of a financial dispute, she didn’t return to complete a final scene.

She lived at the Hollywood Studio Club, a private dorm for young actresses started by screen legend Mary Pickford.

During her time there, Sturm befriended Jo Anne Worley of "Laugh-In" fame, as well as Pat Priest from "The Munsters" and Kim Novak.

She claimed that they all left during the famous shower killing scene because the singer "couldn’t stand the sight of onscreen blood."

She ran the Elizabeth Sturm Talent Agency, where she booked actors for various commercials, films and TV shows, including "Married with Children."
