August 17, 1990: Pearl Bailey passed away in her childhood hometown of Philadelphia, after suffering a heart attack in her hotel room.
Her funeral was held on Aug.23 at the Deliverance Evangelistic Church on North Broad St. 2000 people jammed the seats at the former Logan Theatre, and it took 4 hours for mourners to pass by the open casket to pay their respects. Her long time friend and co-star Cab Calloway was there, acting as a pallbearer.
She is buried in West Chester, PA.
