[edit] Trivia
Her Beverly Hills, California home was damaged when a wing hit it after a plane (the experimental model called the XF-11) piloted by Howard Hughes (recreated in the 2004 movie, The Aviator) crashed nearby. A piece of the wing and a part of the neighbor's roof landed in DeCamp's bedroom, where she and her husband were sleeping. Fortunately no one was hurt, just shaken up.
She died at the age of 90 in Los Angeles, California of pneumonia.
In an old radio drama, "Dr Christian", Gene Hersholt played the Doctor, Rosemary DeCamp was his nurse.
