RIP Lisa Spoonauer

[MisterCreosote]

A small but memorable role as Caitlin Bree in Clerks:

Lisa Spoonauer, N.J. actress from 'Clerks,' dead at 44

She used to be married to the guy who played Randal. It sounds as if she had some sort of chronic illness.

Thirty-seven?!?

Thirty-seven?!?

Wasn't that Veronica? I had the same joke ready to go but reconsidered.

(Also, "In a row?")

I guess heaven needed someone to **** a dead guy in a bathroom.

Damn, you're right. Caitlin was the one who was marrying an Asian design major (and as BYM mentioned, banged a dead guy in the bathroom).

"They draw some of the biggest titties!"

Wait a minute. His name is Sang? Past tense?

Really nice tribute:

 

[I Should Coco]

RIP Lisa Spoonauer, from one of my favorite 1990s movies, "Clerks." Kevin Smith still hasn't topped it (although "Dogma" comes very close).

And I like her response above to Smith's "wanna be in a movie?" line above.

She was way out of Dante and Randal's league.

I was always surprised she didn't go on to at least a decent bit-part career in Hollywood after "Clerks."

It wasn't like "Clerks" plumbed the depths of Shakespearean drama, but Spoonauer had a couple of funny/ witty moments that showed she had at least adequate chops for a lot of the teenager/young adult movies that followed afterward. i.e. if Parker Posey could do it, why couldn't she?

Heck, for that matter, you could say the same about Marilyn Ghigliotti (Veronica).
But maybe she just didn't want it.
