    George is killed when a toilet seat from a space station lands on her head, but she has more of a life when dead. hide show

    This was a great show and HBO had to get the stupid idea to cancel it. What a dumb move! I know more people who have watched it and bought it on dvd since it was cancelled, and wish they knew what happened after the last episode. there were way too many loose ends. still all in all, great show!

    clearly a very talented person... hide show

    Ellen Muth has played a veriety of characters, though most of she had neer-perfectly portrayed as the very image of the ultimate rebel, (be her opressor common human situations, heterosexuality life and last but not least - death)
    her cinical yet profoundly comprehensive narration, was perfectly fit in her latest and longest achievment - Dead Like Me.
    judging by earlier postings - stands to reason that the girl behind the mask is amongst the more intelligent of the meny stars of television or cinema. personally, i can't presume to know anything about Ellen Muth, and would not pry - out of respect for one's privacy, though i can't help but wonder - who is this girl who stole my heart gradually with her compelling capacity on the screen...
