    GLORIA DeHaven, a pert actress who debuted in Charlie Chaplin's 1936 silent-movie masterpiece Modern Times, sang and danced her way through musicals starring Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire, and bestowed on Frank Sinatra his first onscreen kiss, died on July 30 in Las Vegas. She was 91.

    The cause was complications from a stroke, said a daughter, Faith Fincher-Finkelstein. DeHaven had moved to Las Vegas in 2003 after years in Beverly Hills, California, and New York.
