Obituary - Darla Starrs

The staff of Squirrel Confidential were saddened to hear of the passing of legendary actress Darla Stars. Ms. Starrs passed away Friday evening peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by her family.
Ms. Starrs rose to fame in the 1940's as a starlett of 2nd Millenium Wolf Studios, and appeared several times opposite Heinz Eavestroughing. She was nominated three times for OSMONDtm awards, though never won. 
She is perhaps best remembered for her infamous marriage in 1961 to Benicio Lopez de Lopez, dictator of the small island nation of San Santiago. Though they had three children together, the marriage ultimately failed when  Lopez de Lopez grew paranoid as leftist guerillas attempted numerous assassination attempts against him. Following her divorce, she returned to live quietly in California, and retired from acting, although she did make a few noteworthy cameo appearances on The Golden Squirrels. Ms. Starrs is survived by her son, Benicio Jr., her two daughters, Sharla and Carla, and by her grandson, Benicio III. Family asks that donations be made to the Hide-a-Nut Foundation en lieu of flowers.
