Real shame too.. she tried everything she could to fight it off, spending a good chunk of her life earnings from the show & endorsements on medical treatment, and it wasn't enough.
Little poetic tribute.. I think of these lyrics when my irrational fear of dying kicks in:
people you love
will turn their backs on you
you'll lose your hair
your teeth
your knife will fall out of its sheath
but you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie
people you hate
will get their hooks into you
they'll pull you down
you'll frown
they'll tar you and drag you through town
but you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie
no you still don't like to leave before the end of the show
