Galyn Görg, known for her roles in “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “RoboCop 2,” died this week, just one day after her 55th birthday. At first, her name may not ring a bell, but when you see her, you’ll remember the beautiful actress who was also a dancer and appeared in videos with Stevie Wonder, Al Jarreau and many more. She’s been in countless TV shows from dramas to comedies.

According to a Facebook post made by her sister, Tagi Görg, the actor died Tuesday morning. Görg had been dealing with cancer.

“Soar high with the birds and dance with the angels beautiful shining starlight,” the post read. “Your beauty, grace, love and light will radiate with us forever. You have been a glorious miracle of greatness. I love you forever.”

Görg spent her final days in Hawaii, where she was being treated. A family spokesperson confirmed the news in a statement to TODAY and said Görg decided to keep the diagnosis quiet, preferring to fight cancer in private.

They added: “The doctors claimed she only had days maybe a week to live, and after remaining optimistic and praying for a miracle, she has sadly passed.”
