MAYSVILLE, Ky. (AP) - She may be gone, but Rosemary Clooney hasn't been forgotten by her hometown, which celebrated the fourth annual music festival named in her honor.
The singer and actress died June 29 at age 74 from lung cancer complications in Beverly Hills.
The festival ended Saturday night on a bittersweet note. Clooney had been scheduled to perform in what would have been her first appearance since being treated for cancer.
Her brother Nick Clooney, who took the stage to introduce a film tribute, said there was never any question of canceling the festival.
Other family members who attended included actor George Clooney, her nephew; actor Miguel Ferrer, her son; and Dante DiPaolo, her husband.
"You know how everybody's Irish on St. Patrick's Day? Well, everybody in Maysville is a Clooney today," Mayor David Cartmell said.
