@mousiegirl For some reason, I thought PD was in her seventies. I guess because she's been around so long, had such a long career.

One of my friends met her at one of those conventions, and she said PD didn't want to talk about herself, but instead asked questions about their lives.

She was very impressed with her kindness.

@YorkieonmyPillow She almost made it, would have been seventy this coming December. She has always seemed a down to earth person. I have always loved her work in movies, but never saw her on stage. I was surprised to see that she has been in over three hundred acting parts, I believe, must have been mostly on stage.

Although I was shocked to hear of her death, I don't understand the comments that she "was so young." No matter how young a person feels at whatever age, the body is the age and a going on seventy years old body is not young.

I notice that Sean said he mentioned to her moving, but she said she loved the snow to which he replied :but you can't walk in it," which leads me to believe maybe her heart was one of the medical issues, but unless someone imparts that information, we won't know what plagued her for the past two years.

I do think she was young for a bypass surgery at fifty-seven years which I didn't know until her death.

69 is too young to die.......for me, anyone who dies and is under the age of 80 (not sure why i "picked" that particular age) i feel it is too young to die. so much life still left to live and family to watch grow.

@sunshine45 The problem is that bodies don't cooperate with our plans to go on and on. I feel at least twenty years younger than my age, then my body reminds me every so often that I am the age I am, not twenty years younger.
