I did google but thought maybe I had missed a blind about how she died? My mom told me toxic shock after she died, I don't think any of the adults even really understood how she died, or maybe the family was very private about it (which would be totally understandable). Steroids make soooo much sense. I'm not trying to be insensitive, but she appeared to be very bloated. Page 13 of the NYD thread has the original blind about her death. It’s pretty terrible and sad with alleged sexual abuse in the industry, so given that you knew her, I’d understand if you didn’t want to read it. I just realized I thought you said steroids one of the times you said stenosis, so now my previous post makes no sense. Thank you for the information. I'm mostly just curious about the rumors around her death. The blinds about the abuse of her body after her death is beyond horrific.

I feel like Drew knows so much dirt. And Steven Spielberg probably knows what happened to Heather. I think Drew knows some serious shit. I also think Drew was excluded from serious shit because of who her family was. Like, we all know they took her partying and what not, but the Barrymore name had some weight so I think that was her one saving Grace in her tragic upbringing.

Septic shock I thought. But I’m intrigued by your connection! I didn’t know she was from big bear. She wasn't, not that I know of. She moved there when I was in 4th grade. Big Bear is a small town, one elementary school, so it was a BIG deal when she moved up there. I never spoke to her, but my sister did and said she was very nice. She was popular, voted class president, then she suddenly died. It was very sad, we were all shook. There was definitely a visible difference in her appearance, though. She did not look healthy, many people commented on it. I figured that her parents moved from LA up to Big Bear because she was ill. I’ve fallen down the Google hole before. If I remember, for the year leading up to her death, she was on meds and had a number of health problems.

U should have just goggled first. Wikipedia says intestinal stenosis with septis. I wonder if the stenosis started appearing before her sudden death. So interesting that you remember her appearance changing. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_O%27RourkeI did google but thought maybe I had missed a blind about how she died? My mom told me toxic shock after she died, I don't think any of the adults even really understood how she died, or maybe the family was very private about it (which would be totally understandable). Steroids make soooo much sense. I'm not trying to be insensitive, but she appeared to be very bloated. Yup. She was on steroids and on one of the Poltergists it’s really evident and her mom has said she was really self-conscious about it.

I just read on wikipedia this started from well water, I wonder if that's true. I have never heard that before, and it definitely was not known in Big Bear at the time. So bizarre. eta: what killed her started with well water, not her original sickness TBC.

emmy, I just realized my post had a fat finger “U” instead of “I” like I intended. I’m sorry that it probably came across aggressive or snarky! That wasn’t my intention. I was literally too lazy to google before I first responded!

This flowering financial institution rapper is really stressing about her role in the investigation and is really overdoing the drug use to the point, she might end up dead before she spills everything about the celebrity CEO.

She actually passed away in the middle of shooting and for some of the shots they used a body double and reused other footage because they refused to recast her role.

The amount of cash this network is throwing at the three named actress just for a past its prime reboot is astonishing. It is also about ten times the amount being offered to the other leads, minus the one who the three named actress wants killed off in the show.

I would...but only if it shifts focus to a modern set who all have connections with the girls (like maybe a young up and coming member of the publishing team who becomes friends at some company event with someone who works for Samantha?)

I have a love/hate relationship with Sex and the City. I hated the movie storylines but yet watched them and continue to watch and will totally watch a new one as well
I'm just not sure what other direction they could go with a 3rd movie?

Why did SJP hate Kim Cattrell again? Pretty sure it never stopped. I know a year or two ago when Kim's brother died, SJP made a public comment of sympathy and Kim basically came back with "keep our names outta your mouth". Considering their history, I thought the public comment (with no private gesture) was fairly tacky.

She actually passed away in the middle of shooting and for some of the shots they used a body double and reused other footage because they refused to recast her role. And at the very end of the credits, the only words on the screen are "Dedicated to Heather O'Rourke". Tore me up as a kid watching that, I loved her.

Considering their history, I thought the public comment (with no private gesture) was fairly tacky. There has been a lot of commentary over the years about money. (SJP was made an exec producer, Kim wasn’t, and apparently had long argued to be paid more.) But they also have both made comments over the years that the media loves to perpetuate a cat fight and pit two women against each other, which is also valid IMO. Like SJP said, no one made those kinds of comments about the male cast of the Sopranos. www.elle.com/culture/movies-tv/g17765125/timeline-sarah-jessica-parker-kim-cattrall-sex-and-the-city-feud/

Yes, that is very definitely also true! There is definitely bad blood there, though. I have examined my conscience and the evidence, and I don’t think it’s purely media misogyny in this case. 🙃

I do remember all that now. I also think a lot of it is petty
But I guess they both are good actresses cuz you definitely can't tell on screen 🤣

I watched SNC 2 not too long ago and cringed through most of it. Can't imagine why anyone would want to reboot it, again.

After not seeing them in forever, this cleaning product actor was supposed to be focusing on his kids this holiday season. Instead, he just can't stop trying to find new women to hook up with.
