Stay Away From the Light, Zelda
I'm sad to report that actress Zelda Rubenstein has been taken off life support. She's best known for playing Tangina in all three Poltergeist movies. What isn't so well known is her AIDS activism. In 1984 she lent her face to one of the first safe-sex campaigns directed at gay men. She did this at a time when gay men felt horribly isolated and forgotten and she paid a big career price. May she go to her reward peacefully.
