An underrated actress who should have become a much bigger star than she did. One of the sexiest voices ever. I'd take her over 50 J-Los any day.

NOOOOOOO!
One of my favorites since the mid 80s. So so so tragic.

Posted: 10/15/14 at 11:01pmHow does someone die of natural causes at 55?...

Posted: 10/16/14 at 1:33amArticle says she died after a "brief illness", ChgoTheatreGuy. Perhaps it was updated after you read it. Sad news indeed. Wonderful actress.

RIP
Sad news. I remember her in a Cagney and Lacey episode years ago then a few years later in *batteries not included.
Really enjoyed her work.

"Natural causes" doesn't necessarily mean dying of old age in your sleep.
Natural causes = cancer, heart attack, stroke, etc.
Unnatural causes = bullet to the head, fell under a subway train, heroin overdose etc.

Oh, dear! I too thought she was wonderful.
The article says she died after a "brief" illness. I pray it's true her suffering was brief.

I remember her best from the excellent John Sayles film, Lone Star:

Posted: 10/16/14 at 1:25pmHer work in LONE STAR is incredible. She should have been nominated for all the major awards, but alas. A terrific actress and, from what I've heard, a quality person. RIP.
