Barbara Babcock dead?

[Swellin]

EW has listed Barbara Babcock (Liz Craig) as being dead in an article about Dr Quinn reunion. Can't find any information about her death.

I can't find anything online either, so hopefully that's not true! Maybe the were mistakenly referring to this judge, who died in April? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_A._Babcock

I still can't get over having seen this clip recently, where the elegant Liz Craig beats out Miss Ellie, Sue Ellen, and Pam's glamorous call girl friend Leanne Rees for the Emmy:

Poor Miss Ellie. Can you imagine the adrenaline rush as the presenter said "And the winner is... Barbara Ba..."

I love watching and re-watching the moment where the winner is announced on these things to see the competitors reactions. I think my favourite here is Stefanie Powers' "Hmmm that's an interesting choice" face.

Watching as I was, with my cursor hovering over the embedded video so the play and time bar took up the bottom of the video, a trick of perspective made it look as though Linda Gray began making obscene gestures with her right hand after the announcement. Actually it was the person behind her clapping.

I always thought she had quite an irritating voice

I think it’s a different Barbara Babcock. Odd that 2 people have an unusual name..

She’s still alive. If you don’t see a “was” on their Wikipedia page, they’re not dead.

I always thought she had quite an irritating voice

I always had a notion that her speaking manner on Dallas reminded me of someone else, but couldn't place it until fairly recently when I was watching some Foghorn Leghorn highlights on Youtube (as one of great class and sophistication does).

go to the 2:18 mark and there she is! (the whole video is hilarious... and probably not even allowed anywhere near the TV these days with all the literally cartoonish violence and, well, the depiction of the lady hen among other things wasn't all that flattering.)

Imdb lists her as being alive (knock on wood). Maybe they mistook her with another Dr. Quinn actress who did die recently, Georgann Johnson, but it´s odd because they already reporter about the latter´s death and the link to it is in the same page. Fake news...
