Subject: The "Chief" From "Carmen Sandiego" has died...
Yeah...I used to watch this show religiously all throughout the 90s. Learned a lot of geography I didn't already know (which sounds redundant, take from it what you will).
Lynne Thigpen was 54.
Peace be with you, Chief.

I heard about this earlier today but Carmen Sandiego wasn't mentioned so I couldn't put a face to the name. This sucks, she was young. RIP Lynn

That is so sad! I watched her on "The District" too. She will be missed.

I remember she did a great job for playing the nasty parent in Lean On Me. IMO She should have gotten a best supporting actress nomination for that.

That is so sad. She was great. Most people don't realize this but she was a Tony Winner (I forgot which catagory/show). She had does so much but most people remember her from Carman Sandiago. She will be missed. :'(

She also played the radio DJ in the movie "The Warriors", which also featured Ginny Ortiz (Trini from "3-2-1 Contact") and Mercedes Ruehl.

I only saw her playing in "the district", she really had power. This series will never be the same without her. :'(

same here....except that i didn't really learn much geography because...well i was too young to really care about that...the show was just entertaining (except when people don't know ANY oklahoma towns but OKC >:( )
well she is also on the hallmark movie "the boys next door" (how many of y'all have seen that?)
