Delle had been battling a rare form of blood cancer, myelodysplastic syndrome, for nearly eight years. Like all challenges in her life, she fought this disease with a strength that defied imagination while still managing to keep us laughing with her wickedly dark sense of humor. She passed at Emily’s home while being cared for by both of us.” – Anya Coloff

What a shame. She was such a beautiful woman. She had few words in Jerimiah Johnson but her eyes spoke volumes. She has such a screen presence it was a shame she didnt do more work after JJ. RIP Delle Bolton.
ReplyDeleteDelle Bolton played that part in "Jeremiah Johnson" most beautifully. R.I.P.
ReplyDeleteHad a huge crush on her as a boy , she was an exotic Swan in Jeremiah Johnson, the only movie I saw her in. I hope there is an afterlife and she is enjoying
