Fantastic Femmes--Aaliyah

There are those who died far too early in their careers...
Jimi Hendrix
James Dean
Selena
Heath Ledger
Jim Morrison
Buddy Holly
Add to that sad list...
Aaliyah
Aaliyah Dana Haughton was already a star in the music industry.
With several genre credits including the title role of Queen of the Damned and a supporting role in the Matrix trilogy, she was also establishing herself as a legit actress.
Unfortunately, her untimely death aboard an overloaded airplane brought an end to all that.
On this, the 10th anniversary of her passing off this mortal coil, we offer our condolences to her family, friends, and fans.
Genre credits include...
[Note: Aaliyah's scenes had been filmed before her death, but since Zee was scheduled to return in the next film, it was decided to reshoot the character's scenes with another actress (Nona Gaye) in the role.]
Queen of the Damned (Queen Akasha)
Romeo Must Die (Trish O'Day)
