Actress Jill Clayburgh has died, she was 66. Apparantly, she had leukemia, a 21-year battle. I remember many of her films and television roles. Films included "An Unmarried Woman", "Starting Over" (both for which she received an Oscar nomination), "Silver Streak", "I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can", and "Running With Scissors".

She will be missed... I really liked this actress.

Sad to hear. [Frown]

Her first film was also Robert DeNiro and Brian Depalma's first...THE WEDDING PARTY.

It was a student film done while Brian and Jill were attending Sarah Lawrence College filmed in 1964-1966 and released in 1969. They were dating at the time.
