Linda Manz dead at 58
Reading this news was like a punch in the gut. She's in 2 of my 5 favourite films of all-time, Days of Heaven and Out of the Blue. Along with one of my favourite films of the 90's, Gummo. One of the most natural, soulful actors to ever grace the screen. RIP.

Too bad she didn't do more movies. She dropped out of acting in 1997 since she wanted to be a wife and mother and live a normal life. She had 3 kids.

Yeah, it's too bad. She seemed to have lived a decent life so that's good. Just feel bad for her kids....She passed much too early...She was really great...

This is a bummer. Especially Out Of The Blue just got crowdfunded and got restored. It’s was supposed to be making the rounds, but covid fucked that up.

This is very sad. I contributed to the crowd funding for Out of the Blue as I love the film and her performance. At least she will live on in her films.

Re: Linda Manz dead at 58
So did I. I remember seeing a picture of her with the organizers of the Out of the Blue restoration. I believe she was an active participant in the project. In the picture they posted I thought she looked sick, but just chalked it up to "everyone ages". Tragically it turns out she was. She also lost her son in a motorcycle accident a couple years ago. Really sad stuff. Selfishly I hope she contributed a commentary track or some extensive interviews that can be included with the forthcoming blu-ray. The Out of the Blue poster they sent out a few weeks ago is being printed as we speak and will be framed on my wall by the end of the month. Even though she had a very small body of work, she's probably my favourite actress of all-time.

They didn't print the posters and ship them. They sent them out in an email as high quality jpg files. (Along with production stills.) I had mine printed at Staples.
