One of my all-time favorite lines from a movie is when the Heather Chandler character in the movie Heathers utters "Did you have a brain tumor for breakfast?" I was reading the Wikipedia entry on Heathers when I came across this weird pop culture factoid today. Apparently, the actress who played Heather Chandler, Kim Walker, actually died of a brain tumor.When I first read it, I thought for sure it was a Hollywood urban legend along the lines of Paul from the Wonder Years being Marilyn Manson or Zack from Saved by the Bell being killed in a motorcycle accident. But I did a little googling, and it turns out it's true. Kim Walker really did die of a brain tumor in March of 2001. Can someone say irony?!? (And I mean the real kind of irony, not Alanis's fake kind of irony. Does that song drive anyone else crazy with it's misuse of the word irony?)

Okay, not totally related, but something that I learned today that is most closely applicable to this post (but not really).
Did you know that the blonde who is playing Dr. Erica Hann on Grey's Anatomy is the "it puts the lotion in the basket" woman from Silence of the Lambs? Freaky. Just had to share.
Wanna hear something crazy? I've never seen silence of the lambs. However, I googled "it puts the lotion in the basket" and now I get the general idea.
