Annie Wersching, died at 45 of cancer.

I knew her as the titular character’s love interest in season 1 of Amazon’s Bosch. Apparently she most recently played the Borg Queen in Star Trek: Picard, and her first television acting gig was an episode of Season 1 of Star Trek : Enterprise.

Really sucks. First thing I saw her in was 24, and I thought they were building her up to take the reins from Keifer Sutherland. Of course that didn't happen, but it would've been cool if they had. Of course she also played Tess in The Last of Us, and I wondered why they didn't just cast her to play Tess in the TV show. Guess I got my answer.

Former Minnesota US Senator Dave Durenberger died at 88.

In school, I recall writing to him a few times about legislation and our "celebrity auction". I recall getting some general responses from his office.

She's another one I didn't know was still kicking (until today). RIP

I've seen a handful of older movies and TV with her in them, and thought she was probably one of the most beautiful women who has ever lived (made me think I was born in the wrong decade lol). Truly a goddess even as she got older.

Damn, he was great in Fiddler on the Roof, might have to watch that now. Amazed that he was only 35 when he filmed that, looks at least in his 50's. Guess Imperial Russian Peasants don't age well.
