Lynne Thigpen died.

I am devastated. This was a WONDERFUL, AMAZING, RESPLENDENT actress who I had the pleasure of seeing on Jar the Floor off-Broadway as well as her Tony Award winning turn in An American Daughter where she totally stole the show. She's one of those actresses who you know when you see her and you love her work and talent and wonder why the rest of the world hasn't bowed at her feet and given her to total praise and adoration she deserves. I swear that woman was simply AMAZING and one of the nicest, most genuine women you could ever meet in your entire life. I am truly at a loss for words to explain how I feel.

Sigh.
