She lived long enough to become completely irrelevant which is tragic. God gave her the worlds attention for a time, and she just shit on the opportunity. I don’t know why but her death really upset me. I hadn’t thought of her in many years, and when I saw her picture it stopped me cold. The sadness in her eyes..she just looked ‘gone’. Like she died many years ago on the inside. Perhaps thats why.
I had never heard of her, so I really didn’t feel all that much…
What made you know about her??
This is, by contrast, how I felt about Olivia Newton-John and Archie Roach (who I met), but not Judith Durham, all of whom also died in the last week…
Especially ONJ…
I was genuinely devastated by her passing, which is… Odd, all things considered.
So that’s interesting!
Your description there applies to both Durham and Roach, too (though they both died of lung conditions. Archie was much younger). Though it doesn’t apply to Olivia. I’ve never really seen someone so vibrant. Which, perhaps, is why that one hit me more. Again, interesting…
Bridget Fonda looks as you describe, now. So does Kelly McGillis (also a lesbian).
She was a popular young actress in the 90’s. So attractive then. My ex wife was her twin. That’s probably why.
Its funny you mention ONJ. She was my first true crush as a kid. This was before Grease, too. I’d sit and my parents car and just listen to her 8-traks and stare at her picture. She was too good for this world and im surprised she lasted as long as she did.

Hollywood… Seems to do that. Unfortunately…
