Fuck. Cancer.

Edit: I just found out that one of her first roles was the voice of Teresa, one of Mrs. Brisby's kids in The Secret of NIMH. That is so cool.

Shelley Duvall, Richard Simmons, and now Shannen Doherty. Just a wave of sad news recently.

I hate to do this to you and potentially bring more bad news, but Dr. Ruth also died yesterday. Shit day all around.

Ugh! I used to listen and watch her in TV. Couldn't pass up a Dr. Ruth sound bite

To this day, I still remember the phone number to her talk show, Sexually Speaking. I have to say it in her voice in my head, but I remember it.

Just like the wave of celebrity deaths before Trump took office for the first time. It's an omen.

I was so hoping it wouldn't make the thread.
Alas.

She was the archetype of the type of woman I chase after.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hopefully not the character she played in Heathers... although she was great in that movie.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh I’d be the filling in a Heather sandwich.

Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw
