Rest In Peace, Mimi Kaboom ~ Citizen of Hollywood

[hiroMYhero]

Sadly, today the WDW Entertainment CMs and WDW Guests are mourning the passing of Stacy Fulford who portrayed Mimi Kaboom in DHS, Helga in Epcot’s Germany during Christmases past, and recently was a Tiki God at UO’s Volcano Bay.

She was described by Doctor Disney, on Facebook: “She was one of the kindest, sweetest, and funniest Citizens of Hollywood...anyone who happened to see her performing was in for a real treat.”

Our condolences to her family, friends, and especially her WDW Entertainment Family.

That is so sad, hMh. Had she been ill, or unexpected? Very sad. God speed, Stacy.

Bummer

I've seen a few people say that it was depression that took her away

She was fantastic! What a loss.

Hi Dan. It was unexpected. Articles by wdwinfo, Kenny, and other bloggers report that further information hasn’t been released.

What a sad week with the passing of Chris Weaver and now Stacy.

She was so talented as a COH and also was a tremendous singer.

I always loved it when "The Hollywood Halftones"(Mimi,Evie Starlight(I can't think of the 3rd COH's name right now)would sing "Booglie Woogie Bugle Boy"-their harmonies were superb!

My sympathies go out to her family,friends and to all the Citizens of Hollywood who worked with her.

I have personal, close friends that are CoH and it was depression. It's time to end the stigma and start talking openly about this. It is a silent monster, seems to touch everybody, at any age, of every race...please talk to your family and friends if you experience this. Seek help, call the suicide hotline 18002738255
Last year this horrible disease took another life of a DHS performer, he was the drummer with Mulch Sweat and Shears, an old Coh, Francis Floot, you might remember him, also struggles with it, and so many other. I only mention all of this because it is time to start engaging in conversation about this, not write it off as "oh she/he is just sad it'll pass" no it doesn't. Please remember to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you everyday.
Mimi was and will always be the star of film, screen and your wildest dreams

My Facebook feed lit up like crazy last night. She touched the lives of so many people. My son goes to the same acting coach. Many of our friends have performed on stage with her in community theatre. And some went to college with her. Several worked with her. I don't remember ever meeting her as Stacy, but Mimi has very much touched my family's life.

What a tremendous loss. My condolences to all who knew and loved her.

And for many suffering from depression,the Holidays seem to be an especially hard time.

So very sad. She was a very talented performer and helped to give so many guests memories to last a lifetime.

Well said Yulilin3.
What a terrible loss - we were just there in November and saw her. Strange how she makes everyone around her happy but she's so sad inside. You mentioned Francis Floot - he was our favorite CoH but we haven't seen him in years. What's become of him?

remember it's not just sad it's a lot more than that.
Happy to say the actor who played Francis is living his dream in NYC, he still battles with depression (I am speaking openly about this because he has been open and wants people to learn more about it)

She was very talented and a lovely woman, she will be missed.

 

[Farro]

that's so sad.

This past October I watched two players (not sure if she was one) do an impromptu parade starring the crowd as they walked down the street ToT is on. I was sitting alone waiting for my people and I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes!

I was hoping that someone would have shared this video on the thread. I absolutely love that they did this to remember her.
