Glenne Headly, R.I.P.

I was saddened to read of actress Glenne Headly's sudden death yesterday at the age of 63. Her cause of death is unknown as of this moment.

Headly, who cut her teeth as a founding member of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company and is best known for roles in movies such as Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Dick Tracy and Mr. Holland's Opus, has worked sporadically in recent years. But she was recently cast as the female lead in the Hulu TV series Future Man with Ed Begley, Jr. and was evidently shooting an episode at the time of her passing.


She had a very tender quality about her which made her endearing whether onscreen or in an interview as demonstrated with this April 1991 interview with Charlie Gibson of Good Morning America in which she discusses her role in Mortal Thoughts with Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. R.I.P.
