Mine Field Celebrity Deathday Thread

Dreading this day for a long time, but it wasn't a shock since she had been battling multiple sclerosis for many years.

I got to see her live on stage in the early 2000s -- she and Julianna Margulies appeared in The Vagina Monologues for several weeks in New York. Even back then, she had already lost most of the use of one hand...

So sweet, beautiful, goofy, aloof, hilarious -- I remember her all the way back to being a featured player on the Sonny & Cher variety show.

And of course, Trekkies knew her as Roberta Lincoln in the TOS episode Assignment: Earth.

I always thought after rewatching the episode after friends that she was the Phoebe of her generation. And eventually they even made her, Phoebe's mum in the show.
