Daveigh Chase, known for "Donnie Darko" (2001) and its sequel, the Disney "Lilo & Stitch" films (playing Lilo), "The Ring" (2002), and the "Big Love" TV show, has died at 35.

Seems like her career was going well between 2001 and 2011, but starting in the late 2010s she, unfortunately, got involved with drugs and experienced homelessness, malnutrition, and arrests.

Golden Hollywood actress Ann Blyth has passed away at 98. She had quite a few credits in her time, but her most memorable role was probably as Joan Crawford's daughter in the potboiler "Mildred Pierce".

I remember her better for something different. A wicked little Twight Zone episode called "Queen of the Nile". One of my favorites really, maybe because it has one of those ironic endings. She signed only one card in the premiere Twight Zone edition A5, and I picked it up back when it came out. I didn't actually know that she was still living but, much like her TZ character, she had a long life. RIP Queen.

Blyth had a reputation as a good autograph signer through the mails. I had been intending to get one of her cards from the 1940s and try and get it signed -- I'm not aware of anyone else alive who has cards that old.

I have an Ann Blyth card from the 1950's which I will post when I find it again. I reorganised some of my binders recently but I still have to update my records as to which binder it is in. I have over 60 binders that store cigarette sized cards so sometimes it takes a while to update the records.
