An actress was left looking ‘like a monster’ before she died from a deadly fungus spreading across the US.
Denise DuBarry contracted the black fungus Candida auris while in hospital for care for another illness and passed away at 63.
The fungus finds its way into the bloodstream through open wounds after first ‘colonising’ the patient’s skin.
Cases have been documented in 28 states, with some badly hit regions such as Nevada, California and Florida seeing hundreds.
The alarming spread has been described as “a serious global health threat” by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Denise appeared in TV shows such as Charlie’s Angels, Days Of Our Lives and The Love Boat.
Her daughter, actress Samantha Lockwood, 40, told the Daily Mail: “It was a pretty horrific situation, to be brutally honest. Having seen my mom in such a state, I cannot even wish it on my worst enemy, what I saw.”
Denise had been hospitalised with a sinus infection in California in March 2019.
Samantha said her mother picked up the fungus after being transferred to Loma Linda hospital.
She added: “And when I saw her, one of her eyes was completely bugged out of her head. She’s a gorgeous woman. She looked like a monster. She was swollen with edema, she had tubes coming out of her throat, her tongue was swollen out of her face.”
Anyone with weakened immune systems is particularly at risk from the fungus which resists treatment by common anti-fungal medications.
Sharon McCreary, 61, told the Daily Mail her mother Lorraine, 86, suffered a fatal stroke after catching the fungus while in hospital with pneumonia last summer.
Sharon read about the disease after being told her mum had contracted it. She said: “I read it and I looked at my husband and I said,

hounding the cast of Netflix’s “Love Is Blind” with questions about which of the newlyweds would be the first to welcome a child during the show’s long-anticipated, yet ill-fated livestream reunion Sunday, Lachey, 42, who co-hosted the special alongside husband Nick, 49, is being blasted by some women who’ve struggled to conceive. “Were any of my fellow infertility warriors at all triggered by Vanessa Lachey’s annoying baby talk on the season 4?” Jen Walski, a married stay-at-home mother, ranted in her TikTok rebuke of the embattled TV personality, who’s a mom of three. She went on to note that the Lachey’s intrusive probe of the cast’s pregnancy plans made her “uncomfortable.” “They need to fire Vanessa and Nick,” Walski insisted, in part, “and hire somebody who can understand where these people are coming from.”And, unfortunately, there are millions of couples nationwide who have firsthand experience with conception issues. In the US, approximately 1 in 5 (19%) of married women between the ages of 15 to 49, with no prior births, are unable to get pregnant after one year of trying, per the CDC.

Netflix executive Lisa Nishimura backed some of the streamer’s biggest successes – Tiger King, The Tinder Swindler, The Power of the Dog, and American Factory – but in an era of corporate cost-cutting, it wasn’t enough to save her job.
Deadline has confirmed that Netflix film executives Lisa Nishimura and Ian Bricke are exiting the streamer amid a reorganization of the film group. All live action film content will now be overseen by Kira Goldberg, Ori Marmur, and Niija Kuykendall.

The change comes as the result of streamlining under Netflix film head Scott Stuber. All live-action film content will now roll up to Kira Goldberg, Ori Marmur and Niija Kuykendall. “Lisa Nishimura joined Netflix in the DVD days, and as the company moved into streaming, she built our original documentary and stand-up comedy divisions from the ground up, and established Netflix as a powerhouse in both spaces,” Stuber told Variety in a statement of the executive, a fixture in the indie community and on the annual festival circuit.
