Probably need a new thread… https://pagesix.com/2025/02/26/cele...-buffy-the-vampire-slayer-actress-dead-at-39/ Michelle Trachtenberg This one is super surprising to me. Childhood/teenage crush.
She looked horribly frail a year ago and then got a liver transplant. She dismissed people who were worried about how she looked as “haters”, but I’m ten years older than her— her hair was thinner than mine, and my eyeballs certainly haven’t turned yellow with age. There was no “hate” just concern from fans. They had every reason to worry for her.
I picked Hackman for the pool the past few years and then he dies unnaturally, at like 94. Whatever. He was awesome. Four decades of great performances— from Popeye Doyle to Little Bill. And he always seemed to look sixty years old his entire career.
Holy fuck, apparently not. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14443973/Gene-Hackman-betsy-arakawa-bodies.html Mummified and pills all over, and the dog died from being locked in a kennel while others were found roaming the property. Bodies were so mummified it took them hours to identify them. Fucking hell.
Im dubious on no signs of a gas leak. I learned just recently it’s what likely killed my grandfather on my mother’s side. He had complained of a gas leak smell to neighbors weeks before hand but they didn’t find anything when he was found, police and paramedics didn’t notice anything when they picked up the body, and it was ruled a heart attack. My aunt and cousin went a few weeks later and said the basement smelled like gas and there was a leak. Something like CO2 could have built up and dissipated in the following weeks in this case. New Mexico dry heat I’m guessing they find more mummified remains in that part of the country. The bottle of pills are odd but who slams pills and falls on the spot? She take cyanide?
Maybe she heard him fall or call out for help and grabbed his pills. On the way to help him, she also collapsed spilling the pills everywhere. Just speculation. Not sure what kind of pills they were. Could be a lot of things. Won’t know more until they get some kind of toxicology report.
David Johansen, lead singer of the New York Dolls. I also remember him for playing the villain in the movie Mr. Nanny, with Hulk Hogan. https://www.npr.org/2025/03/01/nx-s1-5314358/david-johansen-new-york-dolls-dies
That’s every New York Doll— He was their last living member. Great character actor. He also did that fucking annoying cover of Arrow’s “hot hot hot” as well.
