Vanessa Marquez: ER actor shot dead after pointing replica gun at police

Vanessa Marquez, who was in the news last year after accusing George Clooney of blacklisting her from Hollywood, died at a hospital following Thursday's shooting at her apartment in South Pasadena, just outside Los Angeles. The 49-year-old, who also starred in the 1988 film Stand and Deliver, was having a seizure when police arrived, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said on Friday. Paramedics treated Marquez, who improved and began talking with three officers and a mental health clinician who spent an hour-and-a-half trying to talk her into getting medical help, lieutenant Joe Mendoza said.
