Fuck. Cancer.

Edit: I just found out that one of her first roles was the voice of Teresa, one of Mrs. Brisby's kids in The Secret of NIMH. That is so cool.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned for Sega.

Had no clue. Fuck cancer.

Shelley Duvall, Richard Simmons, and now Shannen Doherty. Just a wave of sad news recently.

I hate to do this to you and potentially bring more bad news, but Dr. Ruth also died yesterday. Shit day all around.

Ugh! I used to listen and watch her in TV. Couldn't pass up a Dr. Ruth sound bite

[–] MagicShel@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago

To this day, I still remember the phone number to her talk show, Sexually Speaking. I have to say it in her voice in my head, but I remember it.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Just like the wave of celebrity deaths before Trump took office for the first time. It's an omen.

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I was so hoping it wouldn't make the thread.
Alas.

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago

Fuck cancer

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago (2 children)

She was the archetype of the type of woman I chase after.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hopefully not the character she played in Heathers... although she was great in that movie.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh I’d be the filling in a Heather sandwich.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Do I look like Mother Teresa?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I blame today’s Mtv video games

No shade to Ms Doherty, but what you say is impossible.

[–] USSMojave@startrek.website 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

RIP I loved her on Charmed and my favorite bad Christmas movie ever, Christmas Caper

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Heather always said she couldn’t accessorize for shit.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)
