Because she always seemed like a decent person, unfazed by her celebrity and I think she deserves more than a passing mention in the death pool. [link](http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,402741,00.html)

Hope you’re happy, Sandy Allen. Hope your garden is blooming.

I met her once at the Guinness Museum in Niagara Falls in 1979 or 1980. She seemed nice.
