Lisa Blount (and her "bodacious ta-ta's"), dead at 53
While it did get a mention in the James MacArthur thread, her death does warrant it's own thread.

In addition to her famous role in An Officer and a Gentleman, Blount was also the female lead in Carpenter's Prince of Darkness and was in Great Balls of Fire! along with several other film and TV credits. I remember her performances in the films I had seen her in being very good. She seemed to be a very solid actress.
So she died on Monday and her mom finds her dead on Wednesday. Very sad. IMDb lists cause of death as heart attack.

Jameson Parker's mustache is wanted for questioning.
On a more serious note, 53 is way too young.

Awesome pair of sweater puppies she whipped out in "Dead and Buried."
Weird to think that she's dead now, at 53, and was only in her early twenties in that movie I remember watching when I was a kid. That was one of the first "real" horror movies I saw when I was around ten or eleven and sort of scared the shit out of me.
