Mira Furlan, Croatian-American actress and singer, has just passed away at the age of 65. Her best-known screen role was as the Minbari ambassador in Babylon 5, a role that she played both boneheadedly and hairily, but always with care and compassion, through five seasons.

    Oh no, my condolences to her family, friends, and my fellow B5 fans.

    She also had a fairly prominent recurring role on Lost.

    Very sad. Not that many of the B5 cast are left. Here's Delenn at her best.

    @IanThompson "Be somewhere else." No matter how many times I see that scene, chills every time. She was hardly ever a badass character, mostly being the voice of reason and compassion, so when she does go into threatening mode it's even more effective. Shows off Furlan's acting range too.

  • @Randal'Thor --- There was also 'You stand for nothing but your own petty interests' in the same episode. A charge that could fairly be placed against many politicians today!

    @IanThompson The Minbari civil war arc never quite appealed to me as much as some of the other story arcs. I might rethink that after hearing that it (and some of Furlan's lines) were based on the Yugoslavian civil war that she experienced.

  • @Randal'Thor I also love the scene where she breaks the scepter and The Grey Council (as was prophecized).

R.I.P. Mira, she's gone to the sea.

There's probably a good few members of this stack who best remember in the role of Delenn in Babylon 5. Looking her up at IMDB, her role as Delenn is the only program/film that I've ever watch with her in.
