according to her page, lynn thigpen died in 2003, so the note on her doesn't make any sense (it gives a 2002 death and implies that she thus was unable to participate in this project -- given the lag time in productions, even a 2002 death wouldn necessarily have precluded her participation).

I DON'T REMEMBER THIS. WHAT MONTH DID IT AIR? 04:55, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

• This has now been removed completely. Ms Thigpen died a year AFTER the movie aired so her death had no bearing on her involvement in the production. However, mentioning her as a "notable absence" is irrelevant anyway as she was never a series star to begin with, she merely had an occasional guest role in a few episodes. Blair Underwood was a series regular for 7 years though, and so his name has been added with Smits as those missing from the production.
