In LOving Memory Of: Ms Karen Black - May She Rest In the Power Of Peace!!!

In LOving Memory Of: Ms Karen Black - May She Rest In the Power Of Peace!!!
Oscar-nominated actress Karen Black died Thursday at the age of 74 after a long battle with cancer.
Karen Black (July 1, 1939 – August 8, 2013) was an American actress, screenwriter, singer, and songwriter. She is noted for appearing in such films as Easy Rider (Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda), Five Easy Pieces (with Jack Nicholson), The Great Gatsby, Rhinoceros, The Day of the Locust, Nashville (Robert Altman's 1975 ensemble epic), Airport 1975, Trilogy of Terror, Burnt Offerings (with Bette Davis) and Alfred Hitchcock's final film, Family Plot. Over the course of her career, she won two Golden Globe Awards (out of three nominations), and an Academy Award nomination in 1970 for Best Supporting Actress, among numerous other honors.
Black was diagnosed with ampullary cancer in November 2010 and had a third of her pancreas removed. She was declared cancer-free in 2011, but in March of this year, a fundraising page was set up to help raise public donations for experimental treatment in Europe that was not covered by insurance.
On Aug. 7, just a day before she passed, Eckelberry posted an update saying that Black had become bed-bound as the cancer had spread to her spine and back and they were unable to go to Europe. But he said he had "given up predicting what is going to happen to Karen."
Black was married four times. She is survived by Eckelberry, a son and a daughter.
