Building the future, and keeping the past alive - are one and the same thing.

I know the allegations against Whedon have marred the legacy of Buffy the Vampire Slayer somewhat, but it was pretty formative for me, and it's a real shame that the youngest cast member was the first to go.

Wowser, in my head cannon she's still the tiny young Dawn in Buffy. Way too young to go.

Wait, wtf, his 63yo wife and their dog were also found dead?

And no suspicious circumstances?

Fuck.

As it happens I was rewatching one of my all-time favourite movies with him starring just last night, Mississippi Burning. RIP.

I'll speculate that he died of natural causes at 95, and his wife was so distraught she took her own life (and the dog's)?
It could have been something more innocent like a carbon monoxide leak. I can't imagine anyone taking the life of their pet.

I saw a resent photo of Gene Hackman and he was unrecognizable, then I remembered he was 95 years old and retired about 20 years ago.

One of my favorite roles of his is the blind hermit in Young Frankenstein, comedy gold.

Watched that this afternoon as the starter in my Memorial Movie Marathon. All the Popeye Doyles next.

It is on the Internet Archive, forgot just what a crush I had on Teri Garr way back... 8-)
