The ongoing Los Angeles wildfires have claimed yet another victim: retired Hollywood actress Dalyce Curry, a staple of 1950s “Old Black Hollywood.” She was 95.

Curry—fondly known as “Momma D” to her loved ones—was found dead at her Altadena home in California, which had been burned to the ground by the Eaton Fire. Her death was confirmed on Sunday by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office.
