When I saw the subject line, I thought this was about Pierce Brosnan's wife, Keely Shaye Smith. I thought she had been fighting some illness, but I must have been conflating her with his first wife, who died of cancer.

I looked up a "Black Magic" video and it was familiar. I've seen it somewhere before.

RIP, Ms. Smith. They don't make 'em like you anymore.
