I saw that, it's a shame she's gone, I enjoyed her on SNL and Designing Women.

She was also on "Third Rock From the Sun"... she played the landlady.

A very funny and talented performer gone way too soon...

Who's Sarah Madison?

Apparently a local actress that had an ok career.

If I've never heard of her, she's not "famous."

[Joe Handley]

I wasn't sure, but apparently I've watched some of the shows she was on.

I'm 56. It worries me a little when I hear of people my age dying. Does anybody out there know what she died of yet? I haven't heard anything on the news.

None of the usual sources name the cause of death, and the family is playing "secret squirrel," only saying that she had been suffering from a "serious illness."

Yeah, I guess an illness that'll kill you is pretty serious. But I wonder why all the secrecy?

I liked the part Jan Hooks played in 'Pee Wee's Big Adventure' as the tour guide at the Alamo. When she informs Pee Wee that the Alamo doesn't have a basement..........

Another favorite was when she imitated Tammy Faye Bakker on SNL.
