Hard to believe she has died so young at just 55. I always enjoyed her in many of the movie rolls she has been in.

I just saw that

Great movie. Great actress.

Jacob's Ladder was one messed-up movie

great character actress

as well as the roles mentioned, she was in this Showtime series- Resurrection Blvd. like 15 years ago that I really liked. Didn't get a huge audience and I think it only lasted like 2 seasons.

a fan and I too had that crush. rip

I'll always identify her

with Lone Star.

kinda sad that half the headlines list her as "Modern Family actress". All the great work she's done, and she's remembered for a guest spot on a decent, but not great, TV show?

RIP

Really lovely and excellent actor. Much too young. She was very good in Lone Star.

She was real good in La Bamba

Wow - 55 and death by natural causes

I had a crush on her in La Bamba. She was a good and underrated and underutilized actress.
