THE Hercules Star died on June 6, which marked her 61st anniversary, according to an article on his Facebook page. No cause of death has been given.

The post noted that the actress born in New Zealand was “surrounded by family and friends” at the time of her death and included a message in which she quoted the 1989 film Drive Miss Daisy.

“I mixed this fatal coil,” said the message. “Good paryye, good read, good god !!!”
