Sad News Regarding Famous Five 1996 TV Series

Post by Kirrin »

Having looked yesterday at the imdb.com site I can reveal the girl who played jo (vanessa cavanagh) died in 2002 she had got to the last 50 in pop idol
others to have died were don henderson of throat cancer (block five go to smugglers top)
and barling who died not long after filming in 1996.
These really upset me especially Jo because she was only 18 and died in a car crash in london with her boyfriend,
I dont know if anyone knew or what your feelings are but it leads me to wonder on how everyone else is?
