Damn.

It says she died January 9th. Why did they take so long to announce it?

Good night, sweet prince...

Was cause of death complications from shooting her eye out?

 

[christophero]

I believe she got an Oscar nomination for Close Encounters. She was intense in that abduction scene.

RIP the star of one of the worst Asian action movies of all time. Nice job pimping crypto at the height of the market though.
