know LuvableHeath will enjoy this information.
This is Joe Bob Briggs' take on the Poltergeist Death 'Curse', Steven Spielberg, and Heather O'Rourke.
"POLTERGEIST" Commercial Break #5
Okay, "Poltergeist" is one of those flicks that's Haunted By Death. A few months after the movie came out, the older daughter, played by Dominique Dunne, was murdered by her live-in boyfriend. Dominique was the sister of Griffin Dunne, the actor, and the daughter of Dominic Dunne, who is probly one of the greatest journalists of the 20th century. He wrote an O.J. book I was looking forward to, but then a bunch of OTHER people wrote books on O.J., so he made his a NOVEL. Big disappointment. Not that I read it. Anyway, then the little girl, Heather O'Rourke, she made both sequels, but before "Poltergeist 3" even came out, SHE died, at age 12. "Intestinal obstruction" was the official reason. Oliver Robins, the little boy, made the first sequel, but then was never seen in Hollywood again. Which means, he didn't die, he just wised up and left town. And two other people from the second movie died; kinda creepy, right? Especially the little girl.
All she did before this movie was a Barbie commercial, and Spielberg discovered her having lunch in the MGM commissary. And he said, "Would you come over here and stick your hair in front of this fan? Great! You're hired!" She was just five years old. That's another reason I think Spielberg didn't let Tobe Hooper direct the picture--cause, if Spielberg wasn't directing, what was he doing hangin around the commissary, giving out jobs?
