DAG FOR REAL DAMN I LOVED GIMME A BREAK. DID THEY SAY WHAT CAUSED IT?

 

[Pattyg81]

here it is..
The singer-actress collapsed in her Beverly Hills home and was found by one of her 13-year-old sons, spokesman Roger Lane said.

Carter had suffered from diabetes for years, Lane added, and underwent brain surgery in 1992 to remove an aneurysm. She recovered and continued to perform, mostly on stage.

Carter was in rehearsals at a Long Beach theater for "Raisin," the musical version of "Raisin in the Sun."

In addition to Carter's Tony win for "Ain't Misbehavin,"' she won an Emmy in 1982 for a TV broadcast of the show.

Her NBC comedy "Gimme a Break!" ran from 1981 to 1987, and garnered two more Emmy nominations, in 1982 and 1983.

This is really sad news. Nell Carter was a wonderful actress/performer. I truly loved watching Gimme A Break when I was little...she was hilarious! And she was too young to die. We are definitely losing a lot of talented people lately...first Maurice Gibb, now Nell Carter. RIP Nell!
