Sad news ... celebrity deaths.

[Heisenborg]

So what does Hollywood actress have to do with substance abuse... she's just one of many, and everyday ordinary people die of the same thing, death does not care who or what you are, if you do it you risk death. Being Hollywood means nothing to me. So when people have problems why do they always need to turn to drugs and alcohol? Seriously, is that the best mechanism to deal with life's issues and problems? I do have personal insight in this btw.

Please don't assimilate me Mr. Borg, I'll really mess with the collective.

You must know the stresses of being famous then

She was so pretty

I watched "Joe Somebody" a few months ago, not a great movie but she played the daughter. Didn't recognise her at first because she was just a kid back then. Man hollywood life must be rough, so many end up struggling mentally.

She was so pretty

She was also a tiny 1.53m tall person...
Naturally as a tiny person, she dated and had kids with a boxing heavyweight world champion Wladimir Klitschko who is 1.98m tall (size difference was pretty extreme)...

In other words, they'd be the same height if he knelt.

I am relatively certain that someone will create a thread in the News forum as well...

Edit: I was just on the BBC website, missed this breaking story by a minute:

Geez, 80 years old. I watched some footage of her interviews in recent years and would never have guessed. RIP.
