Ah man, you never what?? What did she say after that? I was so into that... She seemed like she was a very fun and loving person to be around. Watching her struggle to tell her story made me cry also. I just started watching Gimme A Break, the show ended the year that I was born so I don't know much about her. But, judging from the youtube vids I found, she was an amazing performer. I wish that I had the opportunity to see her live... If only I were born a few years sooner... RIP Ms. Nell Carter

@sbhathena Did you know her? Wether you did ot didn't you shouldnt be disrespectful to the deseased.

[sbhathena]

@Sk8brdr4life I'm respectful, I'm just pointing out that her versions of the story of her drug dependency contradict each other. Publishing a book on her sometime in the near future and want to include these from different interviews and articles about her where she tells different versions of how she got better. Obviously a tortured soul....

Life is difficult. Period. People cope in different ways. It doesn't matter. Her spirit in this world was a blessing. And her soul is mourned...at least by this boy. You often never know what someone's going through...

This made me weep and it made me angry at the same time because now we've got a younger generation of stars with extreme talents (not as talented as the old school legends like Nell)dying from this crap at younger ages than the stars from Nell's era. See when God blesses people with gifts and talents the devil gets jealous so he sends negative people to manipulate you into trying things that you have no business doing. And thats what happens to alot of these drug attics out here.
