The cause of death has not yet been revealed, but Straczynski said he and other cast members have known for some time that Furlan’s health is not going well.
Furlan was born in the former Yugoslavia and emigrated to the United States in 1991. Shortly thereafter, in 1993, she landed the leading female role Babylon 5. She played the role for five seasons.
Iconic sci-fi
Babylon 5 was one of the first series to bring a major global storyline to a sci-fi series. The scenario for all seasons was therefore already thought out before the start of the series. Coincidently Babylon 5 made available in its entirety on HBO Max in a polished version. A beautiful involuntary tribute to Furlan.
