Since I heard this news, I've had a certain Rod Stewart song stuck in my head.

When somebody has been typecast for decades as witches, crones, hags, and dowagers, it makes me doubly sad when she dies, because now some other actress — who entered the profession years ago because she was the belle of every ball and lit up every room she entered, causing people to exclaim "You should be an actress!" — is about to get a bittersweet second wind in her career, as she fills the void and gets typecast as witches, crones, hags, and dowagers.

My favorite role of hers was in Evil Under the Sun.
