The Oracle has left the Matrix

[Max Harvey]

Gloria Foster Dead At 64

Foster is perhaps most familiar to moviegoers for her role in "The Matrix," in which she played the Oracle, a seer who sends Keanu Reeves on his surreal mind-bending mission through the matrix.

She was absolutely perfect in the role. (I don't mean to sound ghoulish, but geez. First a stuntman dies, then Aaliyah, now Foster.)
