During the recent daytime excursion, Squibb was stylishly casual wearing a vibrant red shirt as well as a pair of black trousers. 

She further accessorized the outfit with a long, gold necklace before hopping into a silver truck to head to her next destination. 

Squibb was born in November 1929 in Vandalia, Illinois and later relocated to Ohio in 1951 where she performed at the Cleveland Play House. 

Her time on stage later moved her over to other productions in NYC such as the off-Broadway musical The Boy Friend in 1958. 

The following year, she took on the replacement role of Electra in the Broadway production of Gypsy: A Musical Fable at the Broadway Theatre. 

‘I had seen it early on, and it just knocked me out. I loved Ethel Merman in it,’ Squibb had said of the production while talking to The Guardian last year.

‘She was a force of nature. I loved the show, and to be going into it – wow! That number, You Gotta Get a Gimmick, every night it just blew the house away.’

In 1968, Squibb returned to Broadway in the musical titled The Happy Time followed by other productions throughout the 70s.
