    Everyone says celebs die in 3′s, Chris Henry, with the Cincinnati Bengals(R.I.P. Slim, we’ll miss you!), Alaina Reed Hall, and Brittany Murphy. I hope all of their families can find peace during this holiday season, it’s not going to be easy.

    Fun fact: she was married to the guy who was inside the alien suit in the original Predator movie, but he died years ago.

    “Time escapes us ever so rapidly, creeping randomly through the slits of our tightly knit fingers, constantly. The sands of Megedo are rushing methodically through microscopic cracks in humanity’s hourglass.It is both precious and sadistic the way it shifts. We anger for we don’t have as much control over its cyclical movement as our consciousness would have us believe we should. Quake now, then be still. Allow yourself room for the understanding, that most assuredly, he meant for it to be this way all along.” ~R.B.

    She will be truly missed … she was a part of my growing up ….
    and her late husband played one of the most memorable action roles re the antagonist in ‘Predator’ … I was lucky to grow up in a generation that knew her …. I hope kids today get to watch her on sesame street.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jazzwatch/ jazzwatch

    Grew up wit her as a kid on SS..didn’t care much for 227, but she was the prettiest of the 3 ladies (Marla was just OLD and Jackee was overexposed, too much makeup and overacts-almost a B-U-T-T-A-F-A-C-E) Another HOTTIE we lost this year…..
