MISY UPHAM R.I.P.

So sad to hear of the wonderfully talented Misty Upham's passing. You can read about the circumstances and her family's reaction to the local police not taking the search for her seriously here.

But whatever the circumstances, Misty was a gifted actress as she proved in every role she played. I was especially rooting for her to win an Oscar for her leading role in FROZEN RIVER, which if you have never seen you have missed another classic.

She was only in her early thirties, with so much more to offer, if Hollywood could finally become able to cast Native Americans as something other than symbols of indigenous stoicism.

Condolences to her family and friends.
