Actress and model Kimmarie Johnson, who appeared in films and television series including 'Beverly Hills, 90210' and 'Dude, Where's My Car?', has died. She was 50. She died on November 4.

Johnson had been diagnosed with a serious condition called a heart aneurysm, and she died while battling it. There is a wave of grief in the entertainment world.

In late October, Johnson suddenly faced a medical emergency and was rushed to hospital. During tests, doctors told her she had a serious heart aneurysm. She was treated for about a week, but breathed her last during treatment on November 4.

She is survived by her son, Cameron Nino. Her death has devastated her family and admirers. Hollywood has lost not just a capable actress but also a positive and spirited personality.

Johnson began her career in modelling and then moved to California to try her luck in acting. She gained particular recognition from 'Beverly Hills, 90210', a popular American teen drama of the 1990s created by Darren Star. It showed the lives, friendships, romances and struggles of high school and college students living in Beverly Hills, California.

Alongside acting and modelling, Johnson also made a name in business. She launched her own skincare brand, SkinGlow by Kimmarie. She thus left her mark in business as well as in entertainment. News of her death has come as a great shock to her admirers.
