She deserved an Oscar nomination, if not the Oscar for Alan Rudolph's "Mortal Thoughts".  What an amazing actress!

She had just finished filming (I think they finished) a pilot for Hulu.    Very sad news, far too young.

Such sad news. She had great talent, and should have been a big star after Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, one of my favorite comedic film performances. Apparently the cause was a pulmonary embolism.

Did anyone see her fill in for Rita Wilson in Fish in the Dark? I wonder how she was with Larry David .

Such a lovely talent

Saw her in Stage Kiss at the Geffen, which was a truly awful play and production, but she was so startling and fresh. Very sad to see her go.

I feel bad saying this now that she's passed, and because I enjoyed her in so many other plays and films, but she gave a very odd performance in Fish in the Dark. Not that the role called for much depth, but it seemed like she was in an entirely different play.

However, she was absolutely captivating in Beth Henley's The Jacksonian Off Broadway a few years ago, and on HBO's The Night Of last year. Such a sad and sudden loss.

Omg! I have always thought that too! She was so good, (and star Demi Moore so bad) in that movie, with a very subtly nuanced performance that made her character ,who started out as just a normal person, end up a scary monster.  I wish she had been nominated for something for that role!
