What I consider to be one of the funniest scenes ever in a movie is in I Wanna Hold Your Hand, when WJS jumps out of the moving car and throws a handful of money at the payphone.

The description doesn't sound like much and maybe if you've seen it you don't think it's so funny, but (for no particular reason) I just think it's hilarious.

Count me in as one who found her attractive.

She was funny and seemed nice. You wanted to see her do well and get that one big break.

So she's gone and Osama is still out there enjoying some papaya.

Didn't recognize the name, but definitely know the face.

Stewardess School is the first movie that comes to mind.

Wasn't she also in a show on Fox called Living Dolls or something like that?

Anyway, RIP.

God damn this sucks. I just saw her in Grounded For Life show about 2 weeks ago. Looks like she had lost some weight.

I loved her in Moving Violations as its one of my most favorite movies. I grew up on that shit. I remember her in all her shows too. Even that cancelled FOX one that was about 3 fat chicks.

Fuck, I just found out yesterday that Kevin Smith (Hercules' Ares) had died of head trauma, now this. This week is getting to be very depressing.

Yep.

The part of Moving Violations I always remember was when she misunderstood the 'doctors' [mechanics] instructions about 'lubing' and 'getting up on the rack'.

She was also in some shortlived women's prison sitcom, I think. Show was not great, but she was funny.

That scene description made me laugh just thinking about it. Great scene.
Underrated movie. Zemeckis' first movie I believe.

I think it was called "Babes". Never watched it, but it was a sitcom about 3 plus-size women. She was one of them.

She was one of those actresses that most people don't know by name, but would definitely recognize her by face.

RIP.
