Actress Zelda Rubinstein, who is best known for her portrayal of the spirit talker Tangina in Steven Spielberg's 1982 film Poltergeist, has passed away. Her agent, Eric Stevens, confirmed the news that she passed away of natural causes at Barlow Respiratory Hospital in Los Angeles on January 27. She was 76 years old.
Zelda had been hospitalized in December after two of her major organs failed. According to reports, family insisted Rubinstein was on the mend earlier this month.
A close friend said that she was very much at peace at the time of her passing.
For us horror fans, Poltergeist is the film she is best remembered for, but she also appeared in Poltergeist 2: The Other Side, Poltergeist 3, the Poltergeist television series, and Behind The Mask: The Rise Of Leslie Vernon.
Her non-horror film, and television credits include National Lamthingy's Last Resort, Sixteen Candles, Caroline In The City, Picket Fences, and 'Mr. Belvedere!
