She was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in early 2013. If I remember correctly, at the time of the diagnosis, she was only given a few months to live. She was determined to carry on, and has continued with her career. She seemed to be enjoying a good quality of life despite the bleak prognosis. Hopefully this is a temporary setback for her.

Released, I’m glad to hear this, when she “conquered” her brain cancer, I did in fact, post a story on her. She has among other things I’m sure, Irish in her background though she played a Jew on TV, I think she may have gotten away from her faith but perhaps has now come back.
