Stephanie Bissonnette, who starred in and choreographed the Broadway adaptation of “Mean Girls,” died Sunday at the age of 32.

Bissonnette, who was in the ensemble of the show, had been a part of “Mean Girls” from 2018 till the show’s closing in 2020 as well as being a part of Keith Urban’s “Never Comin’ Down” music video, reports E! News. “Our hearts are broken as the ‘Mean Girls’ community mourns the loss of Stephanie Bissonnette,” wrote the show on Twitter. “Our original Dawn Sweitzer, Stephanie was part of our Broadway company from our first performance to our last.”

SNIP

The cause of death is still unknown, however, in 2019 Bissonnette took time off from the show after being diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a rare brain cancer typically found in young children, but was able to return to the show after undergoing treatment.

These ‘long battles with cancer’ are getting more and more frequent.

Per the above, five year survival rate is 70%.

Wonder if CoupFlu vaxxes are doing a number on that.

Another reminder that life is short; for some, really short.

If you’ve got something you want to accomplish, for Pete’s sake go do it before time runs out.

I was 32 when our daughter was born (1984). It is very sobering to imagine all that I would have missed had I died at 32.

RIP. Was she related to the ex-NHL player Paul Bissonnette?

five year survival rate is 70%.

So some people have to be part of the 30%. She was at 4 years. "Survival rate" includes those whose cancer has returned but they have managed to hang on till 5 years.

We can be pretty sure she had the Jab. She would have been black balled had she not. Did The Jab affect the cancer? Maybe. I believe the Jab is particularly dangerous at her age. But realistically she was already behind the 8 ball, Jab or no Jab.

Traffic accident? Homicide? Gored by a bull? I wonder what could have caused her sudden and unexpected death.

She didn’t make the five year mark. Cancer comes back before five years very often. She had a horrible cancer in 2019 and returned in 2022.

A Covid collapsed immune system invites catastrophic onset of stage four cancers. It’s all part of the plan so it is what it is. The tragidy is that psychpaths have told everyone with pre-exiting comorbidities to get the jab, which, it seems to me, is the absolute worst advice. Of course, it’s planned that way. That’s why my brother-in-law took the jab on advice of his doctor because of his heart problem, now he is monitoring his blood monthly to try and stay ahead of possible clotting issues.

Many cancers lately are gradual, then died suddenly. Wonder what’s changed?

unknown... likely being terminal due to a history of brain cancer wouldn’t be an ‘unknown’

Hospitals and the medical professions in general, totally overwhelmed?

Just wait till the next few million arrive.
