The oddly creepy yet warm diminutive medium from Poltergeist has died at the age of 76.
The 4ft 3in (1.29m) actress died in hospital on Wednesday after recently suffering a heart attack, her agent told the Los Angeles Times.
Eccentric medium Tangina Barrons was her first major role and one she reprised in two Poltergeist sequels.
Zelda Rubinstein was the connection to the spirit world that managed to dodge the supposed Poltergeist curse (that claimed the lives of 6 Poltergeist stars in 6 years) to live a long and prosperous life, but she never out ran her most popular character so early in her career.
Go to the Light Zelda.
