Heather Menzies is DEAD to me

[quote]She's survived by her 3 children, a bunch of grandchildren and one great grandchild.

A bunch of grandchildren? So much for story/fact checking.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

Very sad. They were such a nice couple. This was one of my favourite pictures of them.

Aww, remember her as Jessica in the TV version of LOGAN'S RUN.

She also starred in SSSSSSS...

Interesting they both died of cancer.

Apparently she was diagnosed only three weeks ago. She was booked to do The Hollywood Autograph show in April and cancelled last week.

[quote]Former wife of Robert Urich and co-star of The Sound of Music, dead at age 68 from brain cancer.

"Former wife" implies they were divorced. She was his WIDOW, not his "former wife."

How sad

Here is a link to an article written by a grown-up.

Note: She played Louisa in The Sound of Music.

She was also the female lead in the original Piranha movie, which is a low-budget classic of the highest order.

My cancer was more fun than you are.

Far right, HM as Louisa.

So is she the first of the 7 VT sib actors to die?

Futuristic visions via the sexy seventies.

She wasn't in Ssssss, R4. That was Charmian Carr, no?

She passed away yesterday on Christmas Eve. I just looked up her Wiki, she had three children all of them with Robert Urich. Her oldest child, a son, turns 39 today. Her youngest child is only 19. Very sad.

Yes, r13, but I imagine DL is still in mourning over Eleanor Parker, who played the Baroness.

It was indeed Heather Menzies in Sssssss.

No, Charmian Car died a year or two ago.

[quote] No, Charmian Car died a year or two ago.

I hear it was from a snakebite.

Ok, I checked it out. Charmian Carr (Liesl) died last year at 72 of dementia

Supposedly the last name "Menzies" is pronounced "Ming."

She and Robert's children were adopted I heard, because he was sterile as a result of adult measles.

RIP

Thanks, r21. I don’t know how I come to DL as often as I do, yet I missed that.

Charmian Carr was really lovely. I see a bit of Eva Green in her.

[quote] She and Robert's children were adopted I heard, because he was sterile as a result of adult measles.

So Robert adopted her?

People... How many time so must we go over this grammatical rule? When using a pronoun in a sentence that talks about more than one person, you eliminate the other person in order to know which pronoun to use.

"She children were adopted"

Does that sound right? Of course not. So what is the correct pronoun that should be used?

Technically, "Her and Robert's children," is grammatically correct, but awkward. The best sounding phrase would be "Heather and Robert's children."

It's quite a simple rule.

Paid beard. Urich was gay. They never had sex.

R22, Mingis

I didn't know she and Darleen Carr were sisters. I just looked up Darlene's bio and she had a son who died in 1982. She was born in 1950 so the son was obviously very young when he died. Does anyone know the story as to her son's cause of death?

R29 here. I meant Darleen and Charmian not Heather and Darleen, obviously.

Jesus, what’s next, posting all the deaths in the back of the Des Moines Register?

Aww, RIP Heather.

I get so sad when Sound of Music actors die, and it's now happening to the younger ones...

She and Debbie Turner are probably the two Von Trapp kids with the least personality.

That said, she was friends with a friend of mine and based on their Facebook photos and postings seemed like a great gal. They went to a lot of theatre together. It was always kind of weird (in sonedegree of separation) for me to see a posting of them together out to dinner having grown up with TSOM.

Who would have thought Maria and the captain would outlive two of their children?

(The last of the original von trapp children -- those the captain had with his first wife -- lived to be 99)

My pussy stinks.

Goodbye Louisa, I'm sure you'll make a fine corpse.

So no sons that look like Robert Urich?

WHY, GOD, WHY??!?

R31. Yes, that's what is next. Enjoy.

[quote] WHY, GOD, WHY??!?

because all three of their children were adopted.

R1, TMZ is not journalism. It’s shit.

BUMP

Well, that's ONE of the step-brats I won't have to send off to boarding school!

R20 LOL

Always thought it was cool that Heather Menzies played Merricat in a Broadway production of Shirley Jackson’s classic, “We Have Always Lived in the Castle” (produced by the legendary David Merrick!) It only ran about a week, but at least she has a classy credit on her résumé from (as DL favorite Arlene Francis put it,) “the legitimate theatre”!

Oh please, whoever heard of dying from brain cancer

Wasn't she just diagnosed in November?!

How is it that Harper, who was diagnosed years ago, is still going strong?

Very sad, she seemed very likable and down-to-earth. She told a sweet story about Christopher Plummer approaching her on the red carpet at the premiere of “The Sound of Music” and hugging her, saying, “Isn’t this exciting, Heather?!” It was a jolt to her because he’d had so little to do with the child actors during the filming, and she was surprised and touched that he even knew her name!

I thought her name was Edelweiss.
