Heather Michele O’Rourke was a child actress that is best remembered for her outstanding portrayal of the “Carol Anne” character from the Poltergeist movies. There are a lot of versions to what actually caused her death. Some say it was medical misdiagnosis, some say it was a medical cover up on the set of Poltergeist III, some say it was just something that happened. But whatever it was, this bright, super smart kid, who should have had a great career and life ahead if her, barely even made it to the “peek at the boys” stage. No matter what version of the events you believe, she died on the operating table in 1988. She is buried (and often visited by fans) at the Westwood Memorial Park in Los Angeles, GPS 34.05849, -118.44177.
