63. this is so sad - she was a great person! GH fans will surely miss her (well we have missed her since they haven't had her on in several yrs).
Shame on all of you who are posting in this article a bunch of nonsense and jabs at tmz. This article is about an actress that died, may she rest in peace!

67. Seriously, is every TMZ story aimed to be as perverse and in as bad taste as this? It's nice to see this mention, as to many who grew up in the '80s, watching Luke and Laura, Shelly was a mainstay on that show. Even after her role was downplayed to a background character, she still made the most of it, while also designing her own clothing line. It's bad enough that TMZ and its staff will be able to take credit for Britney Spears' continuing spriral downward, and worse, they'll be able to lay claim for being responsible if she kills herself or someone else, but Jesus, let these people rest in peace. Show just a little bit of class every now and again. A story like this doesn't need a bite or a sharp witted tounge. Tell the story without making into a joke. That said, I hope you guys can live with Britney's blood on your hands. It's truly sick what you guys continue to do to her and others who deserve some privacy to go through whatever personal problems they need to go through. I guess that's what you get when you pick writers with a grade school education. How many months years old did one of your reporters recently refer to a celb's baby? A highly educated bunch for sure.

68. Wow, I'm shocked, I didn't even know she was ill. I use to watch GH with my mom all the time. How sad.

69. #6-That IS what she looked like then. Loved nurse Amy Vining on GH-that's when I used to watch it. She was a great smart ass schemer!! So sad-so young!
