So sad!
Zelda Rubinstein, the actress who played the medium in the Poltergeist films, has been in the hospital for over a month. She has now been taken off life support after both her lungs and kidneys have failed.
A friend of the 76-year-old actress says that "she's in and out of consciousness. It's only a matter of time now — she doesn't have long to live."
Our thoughts are with Zelda's family and friends during this difficult time.

Hey Perez, think it's just a publicity stunt like Michael Jackson?
OH NOOOOOO!!!!
"you're blockin the frequencies!" -loved her in those movies
She creeped me out big time. Which made her brilliant @ what she does. Very sad. I'll remember you fondly any time I watch Teen Witch.
that sucks i was hoping to seeing her n the new poltergist remake:(….this house is clean…..
TANGINA! SO SAD.
She's going to the light, look to the light Zelda….
awww no! the "this house is clean" lady!! thats my all time favorite paranormal movie.
Go into the light Zelda. Heather and Dominique are waiting on the other side.
So sad, I always loved watching her in "Teen Witch". I will be praying for her and her family…
She will definitely be most remembered for Poltergeist
…poor old doll! Does anyone know if she plans on donating her wheel chair after her uhm demise?
and she was the organist in Sixteen Candles - "I need a drink!" So sad!
Go to the light midget lady!
Go towards the light……….
So someones about to die after being taken off life support and you take the time to draw on her face? You pathetic fat fuck. I hope you get shot or murdered, Perez.
She is an old woman, old people die!
.
We all will die of something, someday…. duh
.
Carol Anne! Don't go into the light!
why did u dot her eyes out in the above picture, you disrespectful fuck??
her voice is iconic
Awww, I hope shes pain free.
Re: cute_puppy – Yes, we all will die, but it's still sad when it happens!
Go into the light, Zelda!
"And will you do anything I ask, even if it comes contrary to your beliefs as a human being and a Christian?" Tangina Berrons (Zelda) this is one of her most powerful and moving lines from the the movie poltergeist.its towards the very end.i suggest everyone youtube it.there is also a more recent interview with her on youtube,she is very funny in it.
Re: DaniMac – LOL I'm watching that tonight. Well either that or Heathers.
Re: big red w the big head –
That's a reflection, moron.
I love her! She's in all my fave 80s movies. Poltergeist- teen witch & sixteen candles!!
It's not exactly "heartbreaking", fool. Old people die.
LOL, Perez why did you have to color in her eyes!
But on a more serious note, that's sad.
All you idiots talking trash about her being old. I hope you die young.
Anyone else would've been completely forgettable as the organist in 16 Candles.
I loved her in Teen Witch. Soo sad.
Carol Anne can show her to the light… it's gonna be beautiful.
That is so sad. Her character in Poltergeist was fantastic.
yeah, teen witch! haha!!! little old lady….
That's so sad, I LOVED her in those movies + Sixteen Candles.

Re: pureface – I'm 90% sure that's just the flash of the camera catching the reflection in her glasses
Our hearts go out to Zelda an icon for the ages. xoxoxoxox
i thought she was already dead
Such a fun actress to watch on film and television. She was terrific in Poltergeist and great on Picket Fences as well. My heart goes out to her family.
Wow, erm, I actually thought she kicked it decades ago.. ooops
Re: cute_puppy – Young twinks die too. When Zelda goes, a lot of people will mourn her. If you should drop dead tomorrow, (how lucky could we all get), nobody'd care.
she's not dying. She is on her way to recovery and is fine. News story most likely gathered from a friend of a friend of the family. Stupid.
