Kathryn Crosby, Actor and Widow of Bing Crosby, Dies at 90

5. She became a registered nurse in 1963

and had a long career in that field. Bing and Kathryn's daughter, Mary, looked so much like Kathryn it was eerie.

Larry Hagman once wrote a memoir where he recalled about how he treated Mary and Dallas co-star Charlene Tilton as daughters and was quite close to and protective of them, since by that time neither young woman had a father in their lives. This is why when you watch vintage episodes of Dallas when Mary Crosby played the love interest of J.R., the scenes they had together were quite chaste.

Years after Bing died, Kathryn married a doctor, and they were married about ten years before an auto crash took his life and left her seriously injured. This happened in around 2010.
