I liked her best in something where she wasn't even seen: as the voice of Mirage in "The Incredibles". Danenel, she apparently did the voice work in Disney Infinity for Mirage. Did you have any contact with the voice work stuff?
My dad gave me Batteries Not Included when I was pretty young, I watched that VHS so many times I am surprised I didn't wear it out. Still have it actually... just no VHS player.
I remember her from Jacob's Ladder... very strange movie, but she was great in it.
Kinda sad to see these people that are within just a few years of my age dying
She was very cute and fun to watch as an actress. Way too young.

Cream, for me anyway, is one of the greatest bands ever, but hardly remembered by anyone. Swlabr is one of my favorite Cream songs.

That statement is a little strong. Kids in their early 20s and younger might not know them, but most people in the USA, Canada and U.K. in their mid-30s to late 60s probably remember them, I'm sure.
Yeah, it probably is a bit strong. I think they were as innovative as most any other 60s band, and really changed rock music. I know they're in the R&R HoF, and are very well deserving.

Just about any kid who picks up a guitar/bass discovers Cream. It's one of those "Ooooh, so THAT'S where that song is from..."-moments

My father (in his early 70's) listens almost exclusively to music from the 50's and 60's. When in the car with him yesterday, he was listening to Sirius 60's, so I asked him if they had been playing more Cream songs that day because of the death. He had no idea who Cream was, even when I brought up Sunshine of Your Love and White Room. Obviously one data point doesn't disprove the statement (and the fact that I knew who Cream was lends support to it), but seeing someone who is such a fan of the music of the era not remember them at all makes me doubt that they're well-known.
I'd be willing to wager that most people today automatically assume Sunshine of Your Love and White Room go directly to Eric Clapton and leave the other two members out.
I'd probably go so far as to say that the youngins who are just discovering the Eric Clapton unplugged albums are not far off from discovering Cream. They're just a hop, skip and a jump away from each other.
-- There was a time shortly after Stairway to Heaven was no longer heard at Guitar Center on the hour every hour, that Tears in Heaven made its circulation. Shortly after that, Stairway to Heaven made its way back into the Guitar Center test drive. Its been a while since I've been into a Guitar Center at all, but I'm sure Tears has made its way back in again.
Cream doesn't the same notoriety as the Beatles or Rolling Stones, but trust me ... they were well known.
Badge, Crossroads and Strangebrew - all good songs.

grew up with this tune, one of mum's faves, and it's still awesome.
Sigh
