Rest In Peace Mira Furlan.

This lady was something special for all of us who are from the former Yugoslavia. When I read this sad news of her death, it was as like a part of my youth had disappeared. Rest in peace revered Mira. My sincere condolences to her family.

The world has lost something special.

She was such a perfect Delenn in every way. So very sad.

Mira Furlan becomes her character. She was an amazing actress. Rest in Blessed Peace.

Babylon 5 was my saving grace in my youth. And Mira as Delenn was a great part of it. Such an awesome actress. When Mira passed I actually cried for her.

The first time I saw her was Babylon 5. I fell in love with her voice first. Then her smile. Wonderful lady!

her eyes :

I met her, a few years ago. She is so sweet and feminine and beautiful, and somehow has this ringing air of a little girl at age 62. I decided I would meet her again..but alas. Bless your heart, dear. I was crossing a room and I looked over at her and she said, "beautiful" in her thick accent. I walked over and took her hand and smiled. Her hand was soft and cool. It was easy to smile with her, because she was smiling up at me like I was Santa Claus. Strange way to describe it, but it really felt like a little girl smile, and it was so beautiful and stirring to see. I have thought about her since then, still moved by that smile. She is a singer (and actress of course) that eventually fled Croatia during their war for independence after her receiving threats for being non-partisan, non-political, non-nationist, and acting in theatres on both sides. She is a contralto, a rare voice type, which helped her in dramatic roles, and yet, again, when she spoke to me in this chesty warm female voice she still sounded like like a happy little girl. I am upset. I really wanted to see you again, sing to you, Mira. As I get more grey in my beard and on my body, I am reminded by that smile to -be- young. Bless you dear, thank you for that smile. Thank you for letting me hold your hand.

non-partisan? do you know who partisans were? You probably mistaken them with opposite - nationalism. She was non-nationalist, she was croatian married to serbian director from croatia, during the yugoslav war, she just couldn't handle all the hate she was exposed to by croatian media, nationalists etc. Even in serbia she probably wasn't accapted as croatian...her being simply could not reconcile with what was happening in both serbia and croatia at the time. All that affected her a lot, so they moved to usa..she did various jobs there, even as a waitress, before she started acting career in usa, although she was one of the most recognized actresses in former Yugoslavia, and one of the best of her generation.. The irony is that after all these years and her death, she is recognized as the diva of Yugoslav film, both in croatia and serbia. And as one of the many directors she worked with, Rajko Grlić, said: "She had a great career and a life that, in addition to all that, did not caress her. She was, and will remain so forever: a real heroine."

Anyway, I wouldn't connect her with anything related to the war...she was certainly just an artists. She never judged people by their origin, nationality, race...To classify her as a sympathizer of any army or militant group is simply absurd. :-)

best female actress of lost! Authenic and convincing in every scene! High praise!

This is hard to watch so soon after her passing. She was such an amazing artist and it's serendipity that her homeland going through turmoil allowed us to enjoy her talents in the U.S.

I love her when she is acting as Delenn!

Can't believe she's gone so young. Loved her character of Delenn. B5 was such a fantastic show. She has gone to join many others from B5 beyond the rim. God bless you sweet lady😥

Mira Furlan is truly a Sci-Fi Icon! She looks absolutely fabulous! Delenn will always be one of my many favorite Babylon 5 characters! Awesome interview!

💔 divna i jedinstvenaa ... neponovljiva Mira

Rest in Peace, you brought life and soul to one of the best scifi characters of all time as Delenn, thank you so much, Mira Furlan.

she's still lovelier than ever. I love her smile and laughter.

Mira is such a talented actress. Such a joy to watch.

Mira Furlan is Drop Dead Gorgeous, a real european goddess in all senses. Mira is the croatian Elizabeth Hurley. I love Mira so much.🤩😍😘🥰

The foreshadowing of tragedy in this interview is very sad indeed.

A true kind spirit who was taken way too soon; her passing is a loss for the world. Rest in peace, and blessings to her family.

She mentions her autobiography. She was working on it when she passed. Here is a quote: "I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon." Bless her and her family. Maybe we’ll see her again, somewhere beyond the rim...

Kako vrijeme prolazi, njezina ce zvijezda sjati sve jace. As time goes by, her star will shine even brighter.

Nice lady, and a great actress..

I can't help but smile watching this interview. Wish I could have met her at a con.

" I am Grey, I stand between the Candle and the Star. We are Grey, We stand between the Darkness and the Light. " - Ambassador & Grey Council Member Delenn. Well Mira, you are Light now and Shine with the Stars in the Sky. Thank you. You will be Missed and Remembered.

That European accent... makes her character so unique.. :)))

Even if she looked nothing like Delen, her voice is unmistakable.

She was a class act! A pleasing voice and demeanor!

Damn, she didn't age much, if at all. Truly amazing.

R.I.P. Mira. Mira Furlan was born in Zagreb, Croatia (former Yugoslavia). During the war of the 90s 20. century, our newly composed patriots - peasants robbed her apartment in Zagreb and fired her at the National Theater. All the media wrote about her in a very bad light - some even wrote feuilletons in 3 sequels. The saddest thing is that among the team that attacked her was the so-called " Professor of Sociology at the Faculty of Medicine " - a rather arrogant and uneducated phenomenon. No less ugly is the fact that the author of that ugly gossip about her in 3 sequels got time on national TV to talk about her death. Degutant and uncivilized - this was not the case even in the blackest communism. She's really been through hell in her life. Once more " Laka ti zemlja, Miro". This is my favorite role of her ( in the Zagreb dialect) - movie "In jaws of life": kzread.info/dash/bejne/iJlqo6uedrOxe9Y.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/lY5rzdybdLXbpbQ.html She teaches an inexperienced girl how to find a man: "It's seen on your nose that you falls in love instantly as soon as someone on the street asks you what time it is".

A very good movie she excelled in was The tour, a really well made movie and worth watching.

Mira is totally awesome!!! So sad we lost her..🙁

Mira is so amazing... She looks so beautifull and has a wonderfull voice. I
