So sad. Met her at Supanova in Sydney years ago.
This makes 7 actors from Babylon 5 who have died.
She was one of my favourite recurring characters from Lost .
A great pity-I well remember her from the Yugoslav productions on SBS in the 80s before her stellar turn in ‘Bab 5’-shall have to get the box sets out. RIP Madam.
So sad, she played both of those roles really well. RIP.
