Ms. Van Fleet died Monday at Jamaica Hospital. While she was said to be 81 at the time of her death, some reference books gave her age as 76.
In her first screen appearance, Ms. Van Fleet won the 1955 Oscar for best supporting actress as the mother of James Dean's character in East of Eden. Two years later, she won a Tony Award as best supporting actress for her role as Jessie Mae Watts in Horton Foote's Trip to Bountiful. She also played the mother of: Susan Hayward's character in the film I'll Cry Tomorrow (1955); Paul Newman's character in the film Cool Hand Luke (1967); and Anthony Perkins' character in Look Homeward, Angel on Broadway. In 1965, she played the wicked stepmother in a TV revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella.
Some of Ms. Van Fleet's best performances were portrayals of women much older than herself: In Wild River (1960) she portrayed an 80-year-old matriarch who refuses to leave her island home that is about to be flooded by the Tennessee Valley Authority.

Ashes of 'Father of the Corvette' to go to Bowling Green museum ASSOCIATED PRESS The ashes of the late Zora Arkus-Duntov, an automotive engineer known as the father of the Corvette, will be placed in the national museum that pays tribute to the sports car he designed.
"It's appropriate not only that he'll be near the cars he loved but also near the people who love his cars," National Corvette Museum spokeswoman Charlotte Davidson said Monday. Arkus-Duntov's ashes will be entombed June 21 at the museum in Bowling Green, fulfilling one of his final requests. Arkus-Duntov's wife, Elfi, will attend the ceremony, which is expected to attract Corvette enthusiasts from across the country. The ashes will be placed near a large bust of the former chief engineer for Chevrolet and close to a display of Corvettes from the 1950s and '60s, Davidson said. The urn will be on display in a wooden case with a glass front, she said.
The ashes will be brought by close friend Dan Gale of Michigan, where the 86-yearold Arkus-Duntov died April 21. "It was his last request that his ashes be at the National Corvette Museum, to be near his cars," said Gale, who is also a founder of the museum.

"We are all coming to the home of the Corvette to celebrate the life of Zora," Kramer said.

He retired from Chevrolet in the mid-1970s but continued to attend Corvette shows and events around the country.
