SUNNY JOHNSON – BURST BLOOD VESSEL IN BRAIN

Sunny Johnson had a relatively short career as an actress, but she made it a worthwhile experience for her and her fans after she portrayed the figure skater Jeanie in the 1983 film Flashdance. Sadly, that was also her last movie credit. A year after she starred in that hit film, her emergency personnel received an alert that Johnson was found unconscious inside her home.

Miss Johnson’s agent, Steve Dontanville, said the actress suffered a ruptured blood vessel on Monday night. Mr. Dontanville said her boyfriend, Archie Hahn, found her unconscious in the house they shared and was taken to UCLA Medical Center. She was immediately rushed to the hospital and wired with a life-support system right away. The main culprit for her demise was a brain hemorrhage and was officially announced dead to the public on June 19, 1984.
