Sounds like a bunch of Scotties, because they didn't know

The Man U pub song is still one of my favourite bits in that film just because of how absurd the song choice and consequences after are.

That movie made me go backpack thru Europe.

I am glad I did it before it was filled shitskins even though the cracks were already showing. For example, Paris filled with Africans, even back then.

Anyone want to take a bet that it was the Jab?

She had a liver transplant apparently

Which means she also got the Covid jab, as it's required to get a transplant now.

Yes, but liver transplants are risky.

My mom got a liver transplant because she got Hepatitis B like 40 years ago and didn't know. It laid dormant in her system for decades and suddenly flared up and killed her liver.

She got a liver transplant at the 11th hour, but her body rejected it 2 days after a successful transplant. Massive stroke and cardiac arrest. Died 2 days after my birthday in 2004.

Yea, I read that too. Probably Hepatitis related, given Hollywood proclivities, but I doubt any of us will know for sure...

Agreed we’ll never know for sure. She was a child star, so you can bet your bottom dollar someone diddled her along the way leading to the usual booze/drugs/sex tale as old as time.

Then again, there’s plenty of literature and hard evidence of the vaccines wreaking havoc on all sorts of internal organs.

We’ll never get the truth either way, but either way 39 is way too young to die. It’s a shame, I liked her as an actress

Or you know, good old fashioned drug abuse. The traditional hollywood death.

Those often don't go well. They don't give out livers if it's alcohol related but I can take a guess it was hepatitis, as Unknownsailor said. It's not entirely unexpected. Still, an absolute harrowing way to go.

Aw fuck, I had the hots for her tail end of Buffy and then Eurotrip. Surprised she was one year older than me.

I read in another article she had a liver transplant.

Drug abuse from that? Something else?

Liver transplant?

Alcohol abuse then?

Drugs also destroy the liver. Pillheads will take milk thistle because it allegedly protects the liver or something.

Wow, not something I thought I'd be reading about. That said, fans despised Dawn hard in Buffy.

you think that's bad, how about the bumpers/shorts that led to the full-fledged tv series?

I'll never forget the intro. Or Petunia. Or Artie, who moved an entire house 1 inch to inconvenience someone.

Artie, the strongest man in the world, once defeated by a bowling ball.

Pete and Pete was legitimately a great show. They don't make them like that anymore.

She was cute in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Does this mean she's not appearing on the Buffy reboot?

Someone, somewhere, willy be very disappointed. Maybe.
