RIP Linda Manz

Linda played Peewee in The Wanderers, one of my favorite movies.

She was also the narrator in Days of Heaven.

She was also in the off-beat movie Gummo.

She had lung cancer.

  1. So sorry to hear this. I don’t recognize her name nor movies, but do recognize what small cell lung cancer (SCLC) does, even when not found in the lungs. Unbelievable cost if one does not have medicare and good supplemental insurance. Minimal percentage of remission.

    May the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace in the loving embrace of our God.

  2. Gummo was filmed around where I grew up. Those tennis courts, the restaurant where they were killing the cats, the bridge over the interstate that Rabbit pissed off.

    Up until a few years ago, I used to see the black midget walking around all the time.

    Some of those people were exactly like what I remembered. Harmony Korine went to high school on the other side of town.
