Actress Galyn Gorg, who appeared in “Robocop 2” and in an episode of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” died at age 55 of cancer, her family confirmed to TODAY.
Gorg, who also appeared in three episodes of the television hit “Twin Peaks” and multiple “Star Trek” shows, died in Hawaii on Tuesday, the day before his 56th birthday.
“Our beautiful Galyn has crossed over,” a family spokesperson said in a statement to TODAY. “She quietly and privately fought a good fight, but unfortunately passed away the day before her birthday in Hawaii from cancer.
“Galyn had been very private about her battle with cancer for the past nine months, but she remained positive and continued to enjoy life in Hawaii. She loved the ocean and was a dancer and talented actress.”
Gorg’s decisive role came in 1990 as the villain Angie in “Robocop 2”, which was followed by her appearance in “Twin Peaks”. She also played a boxing instructor in a special appearance in a 1996 episode of Will Smith’s hit “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” called “Boxing Helena.”
In the 2000s, he appeared on popular shows like “CSI: Miami,” “Lost,” and “Parks and Recreation.”
“Galyn was a beautiful soul who loved life, art, dance, and was a phenomenal woman,” the family said in the statement.
His family wrote on a GoFundMe page for Gorg’s funeral expenses that he was diagnosed with cancer throughout his body, including his lungs, and that he was receiving treatment on the Hawaiian island of Oahu.
“We didn’t know how sick she was because the diagnosis was a shock to the entire family,” the family wrote.
“Gorg’s heart and spirit were filled with generosity, love, kindness, forgiveness, and compassion,” the family wrote.
