It is now April of 2013- she died in 2009 - so why do you feel this OLD news is still interesting enough to put in your headlines. I only clicked on it to tell you to update your news on this site.

She was a wonderful actress, but so ungodly thin. I sure hope her death didn't have anything to do with anorexia.
