So will this raise or lower her profile?

I'm tipping her for an academy award this year, regardless of what role she is in.

its quite sad actually, seeing all the young stars dying off due to drug use (no matter what the media says) they are claiming it was natural causes.. bullshit..

 

[Natzo]

so young

 

[dilatedmuscle]

hmm, she's really young to have died from cardiac arrest.. I had no idea she played Luanne in the tv show King of the Hill. Either way, its kinda sad, she always had a solid performance in her roles.

Such a shame to see young people die.

RIP...
Maybe they'll blame it on steroids..

 

[Pain]

Shame. I thought she was great in spun.

So it could mean her last feature role will be next summers action-fest - "The Expendables".

Even more media coverage due to her demise won't exactly harm the picture.

I have two friends that have had heart problems before age 30. It is more common than you think. Combine it with a "hollywood party life" and you could just about guaruntee a problem.
