    So sad. Time to watch "Clue" again, to honor her memory. (Love that movie!)

    Christ.

    I thought I was the only one who liked "Clue".

    That and "Zorro: The Gay Blade" are easily two of the greatest underrated/misunderstood comedy classics of all time.

    I hope they serve monkey brains where you're at now...

    BTW, if you haven't seen her in Murder By Death, you're missing out on a priceless performance.

    At least she said she'd had a great life and was ready to pass on. The part where she said she was lonely being a housebound pensioner was sad.

    Whoops...I thought she died a few years back. Got hit by a car walking home from dinner with Goldie Hawn or something like that.
