Deborah Raffin Dies at 59

Deborah Raffin, who had brief but successful careers both as an actress – 7th Heaven, among other shows – and a book publisher, died of leukemia last Wednesday, a family member told the Los Angeles Times.

Raffin was 59 and reportedly had battled the disease for about a year.

Starting out, the blonde Californian was often compared to the young Grace Kelly, PEOPLE noted in a 1979 profile. Her mother, Trudy Marshall, had been a bit player for 20th Century Fox in the '40s, and her father was a wealthy meat broker.

It's la bella vita for Justin Timberlake and his bride-to-be Jessica Biel.

The happy couple have been celebrating in Italy along with close friends Andy Samberg, Timbaland and 7th Heaven's Beverly Mitchell in advance of their weekend wedding.

According to multiple reports and published photos, on Thursday, Timberlake and Biel hosted a party where guests hung out around open fires and dined on fresh-made cheese, local olives and wine.

Shots of the occasion snapped by Splash News show guests (including former SNL star Samberg) lounging outside on white furniture. According to E! Online, the pair were both casually dressed – Biel in pants and a beige top, and Timberlake in blue pants, a white shirt and a skinny tie.
