A major health issue came into Anne’s life not long after she finished her role in Goonies and before her role in Throw Mama From the Train. According to an interview she gave to PEOPLE back in 1988, Anne was diagnosed with tongue and esophageal cancer in 1984.
“I had a sore throat for a long time, and it scared me. I saw a lump in my throat, and I was terrified. I wouldn’t go to a doctor. Finally, Logan got me to go,” she told the magazine at the time. “Five days a week, for eight weeks, Logan would take me to Cedars-Sinai for treatment, then I’d go to work. I felt so lucky I had the strength to continue.”
During that time, she continued to work and had many roles on popular TV shows including Knight Rider, Hill Street Blues, and Night Court. She underwent several surgeries to remove the cancer on her tongue and those surgeries gave her the signature slurred speech performances.
Unfortunately, in 1988, Anne’s cancer returned, and she died in August of that year, after 37 years in the business.
