She was only 44.
She leaves a young son.
She never smoked.
She championed a variety of really good causes.
She believed passionately in the life saving potential of stem cell research.
She died of lung cancer.
Dana Reeve, an actress who became an advocate for the disabled after her husband Christopher Reeve became paralyzed, died on Monday night of lung cancer at the age of 44, said Kathy Lewis, the president and chief executive officer of the Christopher Reeve Foundation.
She is survived by a 13-year-old son, Will, two step-children, Matthew and Alexandra, her father, Dr. Charles Morosini and two sisters, Deborah Morosini and Adrienne Morosini Heilman.
Damn. Life is short. And so fucking unfair.
