Playbill looks back at the actors, directors, choreographers, and other theatre legends who died in the past year.

SPOTLIGHT: MIMI HINES
You may know her best as Mrs. Latimer on NBC's "Frasier," but Mimi Hines first burst onto the scene in 1958 when she and her partner, Phil Ford, performed on Jack Paar's "The Tonight Show." Hines possesses one of the more thrilling voices in the business, and her performance of "Till There Was You" on that 1958 telecast caused a sensation. After headlining in all the top clubs around the country, Hines conquered Broadway, when she replaced Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl and kept the show running for 18 months.
