    Ha ha, I thought I was only one of three people to actually watch “Teen Witch!” Ah, guilty pleasures.
    I loved her, she was absolutely perfect in the “Poltergeist” franchise, and she will be missed.
    My deepest sympathies to her family and friends. She was truly one-of-a-kind.

    Her voice was always unmistakable when ever you heard it. Just rediscovered her on Scifi channel rebroadcasts of “The Scariest Places on Earth”. A shame that she died only at 76! At least she knows to go toward the light!

  • Rush

    She went into the light.

  • Belle

    I never knew how active she was in the fight against HIV/AIDS. She was good in Poltergist but adorable in Teen Witch. Which is sort of ironic because EW has another list about the worst spin-offs (The Tortellis) and one of the actors was in Teen Witch.

    Not many know that she was also a voice actress, and did many cartoons such as The Flintstones.

    What sort of slime would use someone’s obituary to try to sell merchandise?

  • Ron Popeil

    Me!

  • Dark Dot

    Against my better judgment, Popeil… you made me laugh out loud. Damn you, that was funny. (Note that this burst of uncontrolled laughter absolutely does not diminish my respect for Rubinstein; my heart goes out to her family. But really, that was clever.)
