- <p> DIED. ALEXIS SMITH, 72, theater and movie star; in Los Angeles.
- As a contract player during the 1940s and '50s, the exquisite,
- statuesque Smith appeared with some of the great male stars
- of the age--Gable, Flynn, Grant--and a lesser-known actor
- named Reagan. With age, her Hollywood career inevitably faded,
- but in 1971 Smith made a stage triumph as a worldly-wise former
- Ziegfeld Follies show girl in Stephen Sondheim's Follies, a
- memorably cynical performance for which she won a Tony Award.
