sadness :(

This is so sad-- I think I have maybe two Earth2 fans on the flist, but you guys, the girl who played True died in July. She was only 21. From this article, via eden_advance:

LEXINGTON, Ky. - A 21-year-old former child actress and model has died at University of Kentucky Hospital.

J. Madison Wright Morris died Friday of a heart attack, a day after returning from her honeymoon with husband Brent Joseph Morris. They were married July 8.

Morris had appeared in television shows including "Grace Under Fire," "The Nanny," "Earth 2," and "ER." Morris and her sister, Tori, acted in the feature film "Shiloh."

Morris had a heart transplant in 2000, after an X-ray revealed she had an enlarged heart, and she was diagnosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy. After her operation, she gave talks to various groups about organ donation.

She had planned to teach 10th-grade English at George Rogers Clark High School in Winchester this fall.

Damn. :(

That's so sad! I hadn't heard that she had developed health problems. I guess you always kinda assume they go on to have a happy life, or something.

Sounds a bit Pollyanna, but at least she got to have her honeymoon before she died.

Poor thing.

Oh. I just received the Earth2 boxed set as a gift and was all a-gush with love over the show again, and then remembered reading something about J. Madison Wright being diagnosed with a serious condition. I wondered what had happened to her.

What a sadly short life.
