Dana Reeve Has Passed Away

[Rutabaga]

We've had way too many celebrity deaths lately, but for some reason this is the one that has shook me up the most...Dana Reeve, Christopher Reeve's widow, has passed away at the age of 45 due to the lung cancer she was diagnosed with last fall. It just seems too cruel, y'know? :cry

I was very suprised to hear this. Very sad for the whole family.

And she was NOT a smoker. Holy crap, how much more can Fate pile up on that family? Gonna give the little Padawans an extra kiss when I tuck them in tonight. :cry

The kid could've been imprisoned in one of those two-dimensional square prison field things.

I was incredibly saddened by this report. Thoughts and feelings go out to all that knew her.

When I first saw the headline I thought "Oh god, I hope that isn't Superman's widow". That family has just the most rotten luck. I didn't know anything about her or her work, but I am very saddened by this.

I found out at work last night, though I didn't make the connection until I read this just now.

Both of them taken from us too soon. My thoughts are with the children but I hope they can find some consolation that mum and dad are together again.
