Don’t wanna put further rain on the funeral, but when I see her name, it reminds me that she played Margaret Sanger in a TV movie, who I’m sure was presented uncritically as a feminist icon, with no mention of her eugenics darkside.
Still, sad to see her die so young of an awful disease.

At the risk of sounding very mean and judgmental I assume,unless I see compelling proof to the contrary,that a person in showbiz is a worthless,filthy piece of excrement.As a result when I hear of the demise of a showbiz type I don't shed a single tear.Sometimes I think back fondly to one or more pieces of their work but I find it easy to separate a good piece of film/music from the reprobate who created/performed it.
