Jeanette Maus, 39. Ok, she was a minor actress from the movies rarely anyone watched, but her story is heartbreaking of how many diseases got to her, and she even had to rely on her few fans to pay for her medical expenses
Quote:has died after an eight-month battle with colon cancer. She also had Crohn's disease and contracted COVID-19, according to a GoFundMe campaign that had been set up to help her with medical expenses.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Sometimes an actor gets a role that they just nail. Chloris Leachman absolutely nailed Nurse Charlotte Diesel on Mel Brooks' High Anxiety. What a character! Scary and fucking hilarious.
