Lance said, “She loved ‘That 70s Show’ more than anything in the world. She loved that more than any of her movies.” He said she loved that it was a normal schedule and she could spend more time with her family and her dogs. He added, “She could come home, have dinner at home, see the dogs.”

I loved her. RIP beauty.”
