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.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali

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

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.

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.
