[Kellie Waymire](http://tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,271%7C84756%7C1%7C,00.html), the girl who played Brenda’s hooker friend (and did a great job, I might add) is dead at 35. No reason given in article. ---

“Brenda?” From _Rhoda_? (Oddly enough, Barbara Colby, who played a hooker on _The Mary Tyler Moore Show_, was murdered in 1975). Well, that’s our “show business three,” I guess: Kellie Waymire, Jonathan Brandis, and Gene Anthony Ray—all youngsters. ---

It aint Rhoda’s Brenda, unless the IMDb is wrong. Her 1st listed TV appearance was on Seinfeld. [http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0915499/](http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0915499/) ---

Yeah, I tried to catch this before it went up and add _Six Feet Under_, but for once, the hamsters were too fast for me. Sorry 'bout that… ---

Huh. Maybe it’s a generational thing. I’ve been racking (wracking?) my brain thinking “Brenda on 90210 had a hooker friend?” ---

She was on _The Pitts_? Who was she, the daughter or the mother? ---

If you like Enterprise, she was the girl in the first season who liked Phlox. Dying that young. That sucks. It is not fair that some people die so young, while others like Bob Hope and Madame Chang Kai-Sheck live to be over 100. 35 years old. A year younger than I. Damn shame. GRady
