Another bit of sad news.  Not a long story, so there'll only be a couple of paragraphs here.

Valerie Harper: Star of TV’s ‘Rhoda’ has brain cancer, report says



NEW YORK (AP) — Valerie Harper, who played Rhoda Morgenstern on television’s “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and its spinoff, “Rhoda,” has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.

People magazine reports on its website Wednesday that the 73-year-old actress received the news on Jan. 15. The report says she has as little as three months to live.

That would put her death on Tax Day.  (Thing is, she'll still have to file.)

I will pray for her.  I am a fan, even though she did kind of kill her career back in the 1980's with that "Valerie" sitcom thing.

Very sad. I believe she had just battled lung cancer.
