Here was my train of thought:
Yesterday, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0934902/"> Paul Winfield (LINK)</a>
who played Captian Terrell in Star Trek II died. So I was looking though the cast of<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084726/"> Star Trek II (page on IMDB- LINK)</a> and clicked on the actor who played Kirk's son <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0125190/"> Merritt Butrick (Dr. David Marcus - LINK)</a> and saw that he died of AIDS back in 1989. Then I thought of all the other actors who have died of AIDS, Rock Hudson, Freddie Mercury, John Holmes…<a href="http://www.imdb.com/Find?select=Bios&for=AIDS">IMDB AIDS bio search (LINK)</a>
Can anyone name me female actresses that have died of AIDS? The only "famous" female I can think of is that woman who contracted the disease from her dentist. Even a google search gave me activists.
