ARTIFACT

From Deadline Hollywood:

The Academy announced today that Sandra Piper’s name would remain on the ballot for the Best Actress Oscar. There had been suggestions (surely not from studios and press agents tied to competing actresses, heaven forefend!) that the actress’s bizarre suicide would send a bad message to movie lovers and especially young fans. The statement reads in part, “We believe that an Academy Award is given for the work, and only for the work, and should not be affected by the tragedy that took this great talent’s life.”

Comments:

QxT: Sandra Piper was a great lady and a great actress. Shame on those who are trying to prophet from her death.

KeyAgrippa: She was nuts. That’s who we want to show off as a symbol of Hollywood?

Book Guy: Tragedy my ass. She was murdered. I don’t know how. Yet. But I knew Sandra, we worked together on UTD. No way she killed herself, she had everything to live for.
