In Memoriam (for those in TV or FILM)

[TheBlackTerror]

Yes, she played Isis.

I was kinda hoping against hope she’d get a cameo in Black Adam. RIP

From the sound of things, Joanna Cameron.

Which is a total bummer.

In the category of bizarre coincidences, I ordered an ankh necklace a couple of days ago and it arrived in the mail today. I also decided to watch an episode of the Isis show. When I did a search on "youtube Isis tv show", it brought up a reference to "Joanna Cameron death". So, the very day the ankh necklace (basically the symbol she wore on the show) arrived and that I watched an episode was the day I found out the actress had died.

It seems she maintained good diet and exercise for her age but still died of a stroke. The family kept it from the public for about a week to allow them to grieve privately.

I'll just politely say that, when that show originally aired, I was reaching precisely the right age to be absolutely mesmerized by her.

I remember hearing some funny stories. At a sci fi convention in the 1990s, she noticed that a bunch of guys who were in their early thirties were "chatting her up". By that time, she was in her mid-forties. She asked some of them how old they were when the show originally aired and they said about 12, 13, 14 to which she replied, "Oh, okay. I understand now". She realized they were reacting based on their feelings when they first saw her.

One guy did a web page where he talked about getting her autograph at a con and asked her to sign the character's name and she signed it, "Andrea Thompson/ Isis". He didn't understand why she did that since the character's name was Thomas, not Thompson. Of course, it was because it was so long ago and she had moved on with her life that she didn't even clearly remember what the character's name was.

Then there's a story related by John Davey, the second guy to play Captain Marvel/ Shazam. When he met her, she was not all that happy on the show because she was getting unwanted sexual advances every day. He decided to lead with talking about his wife and son since a guy probably isn't going to hit on a woman if he's leading with, "I'm married". In later years, when they became friends, he found out that telling her that didn't placate her fears at all because half the guys on the crew who were hitting on her were married.

But, she will definitely be missed. R.I.P.
