Actress Shelly Winters died of heart failure today at The Rehabilitation Centre of Beverly Hills, her publicist, Dale Olson said. She was 85. 
Winters was hospitalized in October after suffering a heart attack.
Winters was the daughter of a tailor's cutter and her mother was a former opera singer. She made her impromptu singing appearance at a St. Louis amateur night when she was only 4 years old.
She started her career as a nightclub chorus girl, and advanced to supporting roles in New York plays, then became famous as a Hollywood sexpot.
Winters is probably best known for her appearance in the movie The Poseidon Adventure.  She made several appearances on Roseanne as Roseanne's grandmother.
