2. I liked her in "Toothless", and "For Richer or Poorer". But those were a long time

ago.

4. The only cancer I know that has such a

short time between diagnosis and death is a brain cancer called glioblastoma.

7. I knew someone who was raised in Scientology

When Kelly Preston died we talked about it and she said that she was taught to basically believe that physical and mental health issues could be worked through following their teachings. She said that some do believe that they'll never be afflicted with diseases such as cancer and that it was well known but unspoken about how this prevented people from getting an early diagnosis.
She said she knew several growing up who weren't diagnosed until it was terminal.

5. Sorry for those who loved her

she was funny at one time, talented, but she took a dark path in her later years.

6. She died shortly after receiving colon cancer diagnosis, must have been advanced
