Jill Clayburgh Dies
 

Jill Clayburgh, who embodied hopeful and determined women in such '70s and '80s movies as An Unmarried Woman, Starting Over and It's My Turn, died at her Connecticut home on Friday from chronic leukemia, a disease she quietly battled for 21 years, her husband, playwright David Rabe, told The New York Times. She was 66....

I had no idea that she had been ill so long. She surely didn't show it! May she rest in peace.

Ditto to that. She was a fabulous actress.

i always enjoyed her acting. RIP.

I think she was everywoman's heroine for a while. I wondered why we hadn't seen her in so long. :(

That's so sad. I loved seeing her movies. She had such a warm personality. Rest in peace, Jill. :(

Wow! 21 years of fighting this illness. She did it with a lot of grace. One of my favorite actresses.
