wwcitizenZelda Rubenstein died today. I think she was a cool actress and, of course, everyone remembers her from Poltergeist.
On OutQ Radio just now, the announcer said, "Oh, you remember her? She wasss the sssuper-tiny-psssychic from Poltergeist! I hope she goesss into the light and ssseesss Carol Anne..." and you could hear him picturing the scene in the Afterlife.
I'm all for remembering people in a happy way, smiling about the life they led, if there wasn't a lot of tragedy. With Ms. Rubenstein, she left no family behind, which is sad. She lived till she was 76, which is happy. Her suffering was short - about 1-2 months (as opposed to 2-3 years), and in the last few weeks she didn't really know what was going on (taken off life-support - apparently - just around Christmas '09).
His comments hit me in a bittersweet fashion making me giggle the gayness of his voice saying, "sssuper-tiny-psssychic," remembering the lady that made me cringe during Poltergeist and tearing up a bit at the same time. Oh, and she was great in Sixteen Candles. She worked hard and for that, she'll be remembered well.
