Marin Mazzie - chemotherapy again

Oh no!

I thought she was in remission, did it come back? Or did I imagine that?

So sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with her and her loved ones. May it all turn out well.

It's been on Facebook. It sounds like a small amount of cancer remains in her system. She is one strong woman!

Here's wishing you life, Marin!

She performed that role and sang that opening number while she was getting her first diagnosis and treatment.

This woman's life and talent and spirit give me life.

Her husband, Jason Danieley, has said that fans can leave pictures of sunflowers or pictures of themselves wearing teal (the Ovarian Cancer Awareness color) on Marin's Facebook page to show support and bring cheer. Truly, miss Mazzie is a goddess. I was lucky enough to meet her at the SD of "n2n." She signed my "Passion" DVD insert and could not have been more classy or lovely.

After seeing PASSION I was curious as to whether or not Murphy's makeup changed at all during the show so I stage doored afterwards. Waiting for Murphy, I was standing next to Marin who was chatting with friends. All of a sudden a familiar looking woman who was briskly walking by accidently stepped on my foot. Marin quickly turned to me and said, "You do realize Chita Rivera just stepped on your foot?" I replied, "Well I'm glad it wasn't me who stepped on hers." She laughed and we exchanged a few words. She is an extremely sweet classywoman.



She's in my prayers and I wish her and her husband all the best.

She truly is a talent and inspiration. All my prayers to her for strength and a full recovery.

So sad. After I opened my tweeter account and before I learned of the futility of tweeting most celebrities, I tweeted Marin that I believed her performances of "Wunderbar" and "So in Love" had never been surpassed in any other production of Kiss me, Kate. She highlighted my tweet.

But citizens must be aware that the billions upon billions of dollars donated in the fight against cancer have not all been well spent. There has been so much duplicative research performed at different institutions when cooperation would have meant quicker progress at a much lower price.

The cost of new chemotherapy drugs under patent is beyond outrageous. Almost all of the drugs fail to perform as advertised, but much of the money donated for development just ends up lining the pockets of the company executives.

And I'm a Republican. Well, not really anymore. I'm independent, as all should be.

What??? Please, god, no.

People are starting to react on her facebook....I still am not going to choose to believe this until we hear something more official. It is so upsetting.

"Hearing from industry sources that actress #MarinMazzie has passed... one of the greats of our time... she will be missed. Rest now, friend. Your voice and your talent will live on forever..."

Also, there is a tweet from Broadway Buzz saying the same thing.

Nothing is confirmed, but both those tweets are what seem to be starting everything.
