1. rest in peace

35. Lois Lane

In Lexington, Massachusetts, there are a group of roads that branch off from Mass Ave. Maple Lane, Oak Lane, for example.

One of these is named Lois Lane.

2. Oh dear!

She has been a local in my area for years... Livingston, MT. Lots of movie folks here, and rich people, most of whom don't pay taxes so the county is poor.

Anyway, I also know the coroner. Sad for her and her family and friends. I always heard she was a nice person from those who know her.

6. Happens quite often in Montana

doesn't it? Lots of wealthy folks from stage and screen can buy a lot of Big Sky beauty for relatively little and don't pay taxes or vote here. That aside, I'm sorry to hear that Margot Kidder has passed - and so young too. RIP.

36. Yup... nt

[Glorfindel]

13. That's odd. Don't they pay property and sales taxes?

Lord knows they pour the taxes to you in Georgia if you live in another state but have property there.

[MontanaMama]

37. They pay property taxes

but rural properties are not assessed at the same level and urban property. It’s a whacked system here. I pay double the property tax with small 3 bed two bath home as my sister does with a 5 bed 3 bath home across town. Makes no sense. We don’t have sales tax in Montana.

3. She's my age

It’s just too soon. Rest In Peace.

4. Sigh.. life was not very kind to her in her later years...

RIP, Margot. May Reeves be there to welcome you to your next realm.

[Tipperary]

14. What happened?

[hlthe2b]

15. Severe bipolar condition left her homeless for a while and on the streets confused & injured...

embarrassing episode that was widely publicized in the late 90s..

[BobTheSubgenius]

17. That's the one!

[Tipperary]

31. Damn, I had no idea.

That is very sad.

[BigmanPigman]

34. I remember that...very sad.

She was talented. I hope she has finally found peace.

[BobTheSubgenius]

16. The most public and thus most famous incident by far was pretty horrendous.

She went missing and was found under and overpass, terrified because her husband was the head of the CIA and hunting her. She fought back hard, though, and became quite celebrated for giving another face, proactive and public, to mental illness.

I loved her.

[Drunken Irishman]

12. A strong liberal voice. She will be missed.

[BumRushDaShow]

She was not just in films but quite a few guest appearances on TV from the '70s until present.
