Wow, where did that come from? Was she sick? I didn't realize she was in her 70s, but still not that old.

This is certainly sad news. She was a very good actress. She could do comedy or drama equally well.
While I enjoyed watching her as Rebecca on Cheers, I highly recommend watching her in the 1985 TV movie, A Bunny's Tale. She portrayed Gloria Steinem, who took an undercover assignment as a Playboy Bunny for a magazine story in the early 60s.
My absolute favorite is her role as Virgillia Hazzard in the TV mini series, North and South.
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

RIP. I loved her in Cheers.

HOLY SHIT!!!
What a ****ty way to find out, among you trolls! (Not you, OP!) But still! Shit!
I had no idea she was ill.

Dayum! RIP.
MAGA! FAFO! Schrodinger's Cat walks into a bar, and doesn't. Dumbocraps: evil people who celebrate murder.

Don't know if this was her very last on-screen appearance, but this was from 7 months ago:

RiP
.
She STARTED her ACTING career as the SECOND Handmaiden on '
The Old and the Beautiful
(
1978
)' and was a contestant on '
Password PLUS
' in which she WON $800!!!
“Call a SPADE, a SPADE; and a TRANNY, a TRANNY, or an IT!!!”.

SHIT

Damn she was a queen in the 80’s
Kiss my black ass! Toodles!

Damn, poor Sam!
How can he run the bar without her?

And Match Game.
Let us not forget she was a contestant on that show!

Her death is indeed sad. Fortunatley she has great roles in films like "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan" and "Shoot To Kill" and TV shows like "Cheers" to help people remember her.

R.I.P., Saavik. Hope you've found a spot in the heavens.

I'm older than Kirstie was and have avoided cancer through another cult…the Graviola/Annona Muricata cult. I had a basal cell carcinoma removed earlier this year. It was not serious and had not grown in the years since I started taking the supplement. Some naturopaths believe it to be thirty times as effective as chemo.
Yes, I did post that in a cancer thread:

They find out your deepest, darkest secrets and hold that as blackmail should you leave so they can keep you in to keep on making money off of you.
So if John really is gay, they would know and use that to keep him in their cult where he has probably put the children of some leaders through college.
I have no idea.
Just sayin of how evil they are.

Aye, that death from epilepsy was very suspicious. Wonder how decades of brainwashing affected the Travolta family. Creepy….

And before Kel, I suspect the same for John's son Jett.

Being in the Scientology cult probably prevented her from seeking cancer treatment, just like Kelly Preston

I didn't know she had cancer.
Don't tell Harry

You're shocked a 71 year old woman lost her battle to cancer? Are you retarded?

Cancer seriously sucks.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

RIP. Damn. I'm genuinely shocked and sad to hear this.
Don't tell Harry

A true 80's legend. RIP.
You got the second highest score.
