Gay favorite Susan Sullivan has lung cancer

Rich Man Poor Man book 2 was the first time I saw her. Best wishes, always enjoyed her acting.

She's been around a looong time. Lenore Curtin from Another World.

I am hoping that she recovers…great actress and person…

Loved her as Greg's mother on "Dharma and Greg."

And in case he gets a google alert, it's not you, Greg02116, you twir

Get up Kitty we need you. God I LOVE THIS WOMAN. She elevates absolutely anything she is in. Kitty Montgomery stole the Dharma and Greg show. Because of that Jenna Elfman was a cunt to her. Gibson understood that Dharma and Greg had become the straight leads that the inlaws and others bounced off of but Elfman couldn't grasp it.

Oh no! I love her

Let's hope she can turn this around.

Her demise on Falcon’s Crest was shocking.

Oh, you want to SAVE the birds.

With Lana.

I guess she’s a smoker. Too bad.

'60

Actually I read the other day that a surprising % of people with lung cancer never smoked. I have no idea if she did or not.

Who? I’m not 75 years old.

I watched Dharma & Greg because she and Mimi Kennedy were in it. I've loved them both forever. I never watched Falcon Crest, however. I understand it's on again somewhere.

"Originally groomed for the theater..."

Dana Reeve died of lung cancer and she never smoked.

R8 That was a fabulous death scene.

JFC, Maggie was the mother I wished I'd had. Hang in there, hon!

Save Susan!

A classy and by all accounts cool lady.

I didn't realize she's 80. But I guess she was playing matriarch-adjacent roles 50 years ago...

Lung cancer rates are rising in women—they've almost doubled since the '70s—especially among non-smokers.

Scientists don't know why. Just like they don't know why colon cancer is skyrocketing among young people.

Figure it out, fuckers!

I remember Dana Reeve thought she got it from second hand smoke as she was a singer who performed largely in smaller clubs where lots of people smoked.

Anecdotally I’m seeing a lot more people smoke than I have for many years.

I've always liked Sullivan. I hope she will be fine.

She's so beautiful.

Susan has shared that she's cancer-free.

Cancer always returns.

It certainly does, R26.

She was really good on Taxi 🚕 as Bobby Wheeler’s agent who forces him to have sex with her in order to further his career.

R13 A friend of mine wasjust diagnosed in December with lung cancer (age 63) and never smoked a day in her life.

Second hand smoke risk is real. My aunt who never smoked in her life was always around smokers such as her brother, her husband, most of the people at work, even her biweekly bridge game friends all smoked except for her. Also, there are also a lot of chemical pollutants in the home as well as outside. If you've been constantly exposed to them over the years it increases your risk of lung cancer.

I don’t if there’s an explanation, but - as reflected, so far, in this thread - women far outnumber men among the population of non-smoking individuals are diagnosed with lung cancer.

r25 Why doesn’t she thank her fucking doctors?

I love Susan Sullivan. Cool, sophisticated but fun, smart, classy with a sparkle. Sending her all the best!

A former female co-worker of mine recently died at 69, two months after an unexpected lung cancer diagnosis. She hadn’t smoked in over forty years. Still miss her quite a bit

Yet (supposedly) that useless twat Princess of Wales walks (supposedly) among us.

I love this broad and I am wishing her a full recovery!

I've never seen Datalounge be so unanimously approving of an actress.

Maybe her friend Pat Robertson can pray for her on The 700 Club after she made several appearances on there..

R36 Any celeb the DL gushes over has big time ties to the religious right that hates them & wants to put them in their place every way imaginable.

Enjoy the self-hatred, irony & hypocrisy always on display here.
