Another untimely passing. I remember him being all over tv in the 70s. He was an excellent child/teen actor. And Salem's Lot is a favorite of mine. He left acting and, apparently, fell on hard financial times the last couple of years; there was even a gofundme page set up on his behalf, which didn't raise very much.

I don't think I've seen any of her films, but I naturally remember her from "Falcon Crest".

She was 57 when she appeared on Falcon Crest and looked damn good. 95 is a great life. 

Gina leaves behind the inevitable feuding over the estate situation, which actually started long before her death, and who in her life was or wasn't taking advantage. She has a much-younger "ex-husband" she supposedly married in Spain in 2006 then claimed years later he had committed fraud with an imposter by "marrying" her by proxy.  Her long-time aide lives in her house with his companion and there are accusations of him taking advantage. Her son, her only child, was estranged from her and claims the aide took advantage of her diminished mental capacity.

I was just listening to Marquee Moon randomly the other day. What an incredible song and artist. R.I.P.

 

A really beautiful tribute from the Sleater-Kinney account:

Annie Wersching (Amelia Joffe on GH, but best known for her roles in Timeless, 24, Star Trek: Picard and as the original VA and physical modeler of Tess in the video game version of The Last of Us, among many other roles) has died of cancer at 45. Such a talent.

 

Well, damn.

 

I loved her in everything she was in (and loved to hate in TIMELESS) so that's sad to hear.

Oh no. I loved her in 24 and Bosch, and an assortment of other roles. I had no idea she was ill.

I barely recalled her stint on GH, but in reading over the character bio, her role was short but significant

Yes, her Julia in Bosch was awesome. Sigh, 45 is just too young.

I know her only from Picard and Timeless.  She was an amazing talent.  She could play evil characters but somehow give them nuance.

 

This was her pinned tweet  😪

Such heartbreaking news; the first thing I remember seeing in was as Amelia on GH.  It was sometimes a nothing role, but Wersching added a lot more depth than what was in the scripts.  What has struck me so much in the reactions and outpouring was how beloved she was on every set she stepped in.  Prayers to her family.
