Sad news from Hollywood: Karen Black , iconic actress with over 100 film credits, passed away on Thursday after a long a battle with cancer. A quirky beauty with wild locks, pouty lips, and a knack for playing tragic heroines, Karen was born in Park Ridge, Illinois in 1939, and accepted into Northwestern University at the tender age of 15. But after two years of studying, Karen headed out for the bright lights of New York City, kicking off a career that would see her star in many classic counterculture movies. More after the jump!
