That is very strange.

She stared in Buffy and Gossip Girl and Harriet the Spy
Yesterday was the first time I've ever heard her name. I read her mom found her, that's so damn awful, it will be in her head until the day she dies.

All these "stars" that are dying and I have no idea who they are.
Excluding the brilliant Gene Hackman of course. His movies were next level, you are going there if he is in it. Watching the French Connection was so stressful, you really get caught up in all of it.

I find myself in that position too, especially with the young musicians. I don't have a fricken clue who so many of them are.

And I don't want to know either. Their music is shit. No one makes good music anymore. I like listening to all the good music that I like, and none of it is released this century.

Agreed. That's why 99.9% of the time I fast forward through SNL's musical garbage acts. I think I lost my appreciation for these new, young musicians somewhere in the early 2000's.

Gene hackmen had dementia, his wife died a full week before he did. He wandered around his house for a week, without knowing his wife was dead, or a dog was in a crate. Nobody cared enough to check in. What an awful way to go.

Yes, it is awful, it's a very sad story all the way around.
