She was 54. And all the news bytes I can find list the cause of death as "Unknown".

I do find it odd, however, that a lot of the biographies credit her "first appearance" as onstage in 1975, when I distinctly remember her in the 1973 movie "Godspell".

There is something very wrong with this world.

She was in 'Godspell', so the news item must be wrong. She was also the awesome DJ in 'The Warriors'.

Plus, I loved Carmen Sandiago.

*whimper*

her imdb profile did list her as being in Godspell, though i am not sure when it said it was released.
