DEATH REVEALED. Shirley Booth, 94, stage, screen, radio and TV star; after a brief illness; in North Chatham, Massachusetts. Booth's gift for gabby characters peaked on Broadway with her appearance as the embattled wife of an alcoholic in Come Back, Little Sheba, which won her a Tony. Her screen re-creation of the role opposite Burt Lancaster earned an Oscar. But she is best known as TV maid Hazel on the show of that name, who eagerly interfered with her employers from 1961 to 1966, snagging two Emmys along the way.
