RIP lovely and talented lady.

Damn.

RIP.

Wow only 80? I imagined she was older. Two leads of Forbidden Planet gone in a matter of a few weeks.

Farewell to the Genre Babe Of The Century.

I'm worried that Robbie may be next!

I must watch the last few Honey West episodes in the DVD set this weekend in tribute.

I gotta watch Forbidden Planet again. It's been way too freaking long.

RIP indeed.

Oh, no. She was my all-time favorite actress.

Farewell to the Genre Babe Of The Century.

I dunno, for a 70 year old I guess back then she wasn't too bad, but I suspect there were better looking babes this century.



Sad loss, lovely lady (several scores ago, that is), talented actress but surely she's now found her peace.

RIP

You don't get it, dude. I saw her for the first time in that Twilight Zone ep and I was gone. Then I was really gone when I saw her in Forbidden Planet.

You can keep the modern babes. I'm sticking with GBOCentury.
