I haven't seen anything past the first six, and not sure anything past the

I wasn't trying to be dismissive. I mentioned she was in The Blues
Brothers. But it's a fairly short list, she seemed to decide to be a
writer and other things. The fact that she fixed up scripts is something
I just learned, but that can't be something everyone can do.

Since I've not seen any of them, didn't know till she died that she was in
the more recent one, that doesn't count.
Lots of actors have a few roles, and you can remember them and yet if they
die their impact isn't that much for the public. Maybe it is because it
was Star Wars, maybe it's something else, it matters to me more than most
of the celebrity deaths of this year, certainly the ones that are getting
the attention right now.
