RIP You kind of feel like you lost someone you knew when famous people get taken by the reaper. But then you realize you didn't really knew them, only the characters they portrayed. I liked her in 24, but don't remember seeing her in anything else. I wasn't aware she was in The Last of Us.


PS.: I find it a bit morbid that she's barely cold and they are already using her death to beg for money.

Supposedly its for funeral arrangements, but I find it hard to believe that someone with cancer wouldn't have it covered.

I find it even harder to believe that someone who was successful in hollywood can't cover it and needs money from paycheck to paycheck folk. It just rubs me the wrong way.

I would have assumed medical bills first since those can get realy out of hand quickly in the US.

And respectfully, but from her IMDB page she did not seem that succesfull as most of her roles were smaller gigs, but then again I don't know what these actors make.

Much more than the average person that's for sure. Being among the first billed in a successful TV show means at least $100k / episode at the bare minimum.

It just go's to show you that unless you are truly wealthy you are susceptible to having your family go bankrupt for medical bills in the US.

And still most americans are against universal health care. It's the "oh it will never happen to me" and "taxes are theft" mentality.

It's the bullshit mentality of we don't need universal health care... then it happens to them and... "Contribute to our gofundme please!"
