Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski. “It is a night of great sadness, for our friend and comrade had gone down the road where we cannot reach her,” the creator tweeted. “But as with all things, we will catch up with her in time, and I believe she will have many stories to tell us, and many new roles to share with the universe.” An official cause of death has not been revealed, but the creator and some of her colleagues have alluded to a history of “failing health.” She was 65.
