My friend from grad school loved her novels. She'll be very sad that the series stopped at "Y", one short of the end.

She'd already announced that "'Z' is for 'Zero'" would be the final book in the series. Sort of sad that she had an end planned, but couldn't quite get there.
Maybe GRRM can finish it for her... he's (apparently) not doing anything at the momentOriginally Posted by Delores Mulva
Hey now, it takes a lot of effort to write one word a day.
The first possible celebrity death for 2018:
Jon Paul Steuer who played Alexander Rozhenko (Worf's son) from ST:TNG and DS9. He passed on the 1st of unknown causes.
He was younger than me.
Not the typical person one defines as celebrity today but...

Not sure if she's on anyone's list... but Tara Reid doesn't seem to be long for this world.

Tara Reid has looked like that for years. Don't go cheap on plastic surgery.

Keith Jackson, one of the best sports broadcasters ever. I grew up loving this guys calls on all sports, but especially college football, he came up with so many great catchphrases.

I did not even think to post about him but they have been discussing him during all the football this week. Sadly no clips of his work because none of the games were on ABC.
but oh Wide World of Sports, That was THE place to see the stuff you would never had seen or heard of in an era before 20 sports cable channels. In some ways that is why WWoS has fond memories, While today you can see anything on cable or online that show you never knew what you might see each week.

I just saw this and came to post it as well. Wow, 46 is way too young.
She's on my list of "hauntingly beautiful voices I could listen to for hours". Tres sad.
Back in the mid 90's, I dated a chick who would put her favourite album by Haddaway on repeat whenever I was at her place. I gave her "Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?" just so she'd stop playing that damned record. So goodbye, Dolores O'Riordan, and thank you for stopping me from being conditioned to get an erection every time I hear "What Is Love". Much appreciated.
Yeah - I really hope it isn't suicide or drugs. Fit 46-year-old women don't usually drop dead from one day to another.
