“Babylon 5” creator J. Michael Straczynski revealed Furlan had been battling an illness for some time, but gave no details either. Straczynski did share a tribute for the actress on his Twitter account Thursday night.

“Mira was a good and kind woman, a stunningly talented performer, and a friend to everyone in the cast and crew of ‘Babylon 5,’ and we are all devastated by the news,” Straczynski wrote. “The cast members with whom she was especially close since the show’s end will need room to process this moment, so please be gentle if they are unresponsive for a time. We have been down this road too often, and it only gets harder.”

“If you are a fan of Mira’s work, fire up those special works where she shook the heavens, and relive the art she brought to her work,” he continued. “For any actor, that is the best tribute possible: for the work to endure. As much as this is a time to grieve, it is also a time to celebrate her life and her courage.”
