This one I missed... on the 13th of November, 36 year old actress Kellie Waymire (sometimes credited as "Kelly Waymire") passed away in her sleep. The IMDb lists "natural causes" as the cause of her death.
She played "Liz Pitt" in the extremely short-lived Fox sitcom The Pitts, which I found noxiously bad, especially for its overly simplistic caricature of conservative Christians, I'm afraid. However, she was also a Star Trek actress, playing "Crewman Elizabeth Cutler" on several episodes of Enterprise, as well as playing the alien actress "Lanya" in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Muse", which was one of the more interesting "forehead ridge aliens of the week" episodes wherein the people on the planet had gotten hold of various logs from Voyager crewmembers and were performing the stories as plays, with the stories being the actual Star Trek: Voyager scripts, with all the stage directions being read Greek Chorus-stlye. Lanya was the character whom was the actress whom played Seven of Nine in the plays.
Unlike Jonathan Brandis**, I can't say I knew of her name, but, still, obviously, it's very sad, especially when they're still young.
**By the way, for all of my new visitors here, please note that it's "Jonathan Brandis", not "Johnathan Brandis". I'm sorry that I spelt it with the extra H that one time. Also, you'd be surprised how many people seem to think the guy's name was "Jonathan Brandon"...
