Veteran TV actress Denise Dowse, best known for her roles in Beverly Hills, 90210 and Insecure, among others, has died after a battle with meningitis. She was 64.
Dowse’s sister Tracey shared the news in an Instagram post on Saturday. “I want to take this moment to thank our friends and family for all of the love and prayers,” she wrote. “It is with a very heavy heart that I inform everyone that my sister, Denise Dowse has gone forward to meet our family in eternal life.”
She called Dowse “the most amazing sister, a consummate, illustrious actress, mentor and director,” adding, “She was my very best friend and final family member. Denise loved all of you. I know that she is watching over us with all the love she has.”
More information about Dowse’s celebration of life service will be shared at a later time, noted Tracey. “Again I am so grateful for all the calls, text messages, direct messages, and silent prayers for my sister,” she wrote. “We could not have made it so gracefully and painlessly without all of the prayer warriors around the world.”
Tracey announced last week that her sister was hospitalized after she fell into a coma brought on by a virulent form of meningitis, a disease caused by the inflammation of brain and spinal cord membranes. “She is a vibrant actor and director that should have many years ahead of her,” Tracey wrote at the time. “Thoughts, prayers and support are greatly appreciated. Denise’s representatives did not immediately respond to EW’s request for comment.
