Saw the news about her this morning. So shocking. She was only 65.

She was so young. I'm hoping that this isn't the start of 2021 being another 2020. I've trying to be hopeful for this year, but I'm not feeling it so far.

Apparently she might still be alive...crazy. I hope she recovers.

Apparently so!

Apparently this obit is wrong.

She's seriously ill but not dead.

Due to some miscommunication, Ms. Robert's agent misinterpreted information alluding to her pending death as "she's already passed", and the earliest posted obits were indeed premature -- but only by a day, as she did pass away on Monday.

The confusion over the moment of her passing is, I think, something an actress would enjoy. I always think of actresses hyper aware of their feelings in order to do their job well, and also loaded with a good sense of humor. Rest easy, Tanya.
