I’d think she’s better known for at least four other films amongst her female demographic (which would be her core fans) but most entertainment writers are men, hence, the nod to her rather small role in “Sin City” over anything else.
It could be, but along with the drug rumors, she had a swirl of eating disorder rumors, and eating disorders can and do kill. Cardiac damage is frequent, add in another stressor and it can be a deadly situation, see: Karen Carpenter.
Despite the drug rumors, no one seems to have ever had anything bad to say about her. Her Hollywood friends and former co-stars on Twitter are all pointing out everything that was cool about her, and lamenting that lately things seem to have been falling apart for her, a six-month spiral. It’s a shame.
I saw her in “Just Married” with Ashton Kutcher. But I’ll always remember her for her 13 or so years as LuAnne on “King of the Hill”. I wonder if Adult Swim (which shows KOTH reruns) will have some kind of “In Memoriam” bumper. That would be a classy thing to do.
I thought the “Sin City” actress thing was a bit odd–I associated her with Clueless. Though I guess was Sin City more recent? Oh well. Sad either way–she was so young!
