Body Of ‘The Ten Commandments’ Actress Dalyce Curry Found In L.A. Home Ravished By Fire

The remains of 95-year-old “Ten Commandments” actress Dalyce Curry were discovered in her Altadena, California home.

Curry, fondly known as “Mamma D,” perished in the devastating Eaton Fire, the local news outlet ABC7 reported. They reported that the coroner confirmed her death shortly before 6 p.m., Jan. 12. The famous actress was part of Old Black Hollywood back in the ’50s and had been active in the entertainment industry for decades.

Dalyce Kelley was her grandmother’s caregiver on a part-time basis and said she dropped Curry off at her residence at approximately midnight Tuesday. Curry had been at the hospital for the entire day and was tired. Kelley left for the evening to see to her other family members, with no idea that the fire would reach her grandmother’s home at such a rapid pace, according to ABC7.

Kelley said she was awakened by a text alert saying that the power had gone out at Curry’s residence. She rushed to the scene where she found the area already filled with smoke.

“I’m sorry your grandmother’s property is gone. It totally burned down,” an officer told her after she reached a barricade, according to ABC7. He told Kelley to go to the Pasadena Civic Center, where displaced residents were gathering, but she had unfortunately not been seen there.

A national guardsman took Kelley to her grandmother’s home Friday. She saw what was left of the property first-hand.

Granddaughter Loree Beamer-Wilkinson said that despite her grandmother’s age, the woman was full of energy and had a lot more life to live.

“She was very active, you would not think she was 95,” she told ABC7.
