RIP Glenne Headly :(

http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/glenne-headly-dies-age-62-1202459901/

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Emmy-nominated actress Glenne Headly has died at age 62, Variety has confirmed.

“It is with deep sorrow that we confirm the passing of Glenne Headly,” her reps said in a statement. “We ask that her family’s privacy be respected in this difficult time.”

The film, television actress, and theater actress was known for starring alongside Warren Beatty in 1990’s “Dick Tracy” as Tess Trueheart. She was nominated for an Emmy for her role in the 1989 miniseries “Lonesome Dove,” as well as the 1996 Showtime film adaptation of “Bastard Out of Carolina.” She was in production on the Seth Rogen-Evan Goldberg produced Hulu comedy series “Future Man” at the time of her death.

“Future Man” producer Sony Pictures Television said Headly’s role would not be recast but that she would remain in the episodes completed so far. The series revolves around a janitor and gamer by night who is recruited by mysterious visitors to travel through time in order to prevent the extinction of humanity. “Future Man,” which stars Ed Begley Jr., Eliza Coupe and Josh Hutcherson, is now lensing in Los Angeles...

in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, as well. Bought this movie a couple of years ago.

I'm probably the only person on the face of the earth who has the Lonesome Dove series.

Might have to do a mini-marathon this weekend.

She would probably have made an unlikely sex symbol, but I thought she was incredibly sexy.

Every character she ever played had an undeniable appeal. I'll miss her...

Memorable in 'Lonesome Dove' and 'Mr. Holland's Opus'!

Her look and voice were unique!

Rest in peace, Glenne Headly.

Her scenes with Danny Aiello are some of the best in the movie. She will be missed!
