Her poor family.

Indeed.

Her feckless shenanigans must have given them more than their share of sleepless nights down through the years.

Recognised her face but had to give a Google to see where I knew her from. Her Wiki is tje first place I've ever seen the phrase "it girl".

Rest in peace.

RIP and all that but what exactly is she famous for?

Why would people in Ireland care?

I'm sure there'll be lots of smart comments posted here later, but Tara seemed like a nice person and to die so young is incredibly sad, so rip.

I always wonder why people post on threads that doesn't affect them, then I remember boardsies

Prince Charles' god child apparently, among other things.
I always felt she thought she was more important than she really was.

The same could be said for you starting this thread.

Very sorry to hear this. I liked her on I'm a celebrity and in other stuff. Her brain tumour was supposed to be benign. Wonder what happened to her?

Very sad!

I preferred the other one of the It girls, she had better jugs.

One of the first people I remember being famous for....eh.... just being famous I guess!
The makers of reality TV shows will have one less 'go-to' applicant after today.
If cause of death is due to brain tumour, it's a sad and scary way to go.

I started the thread cos I used read her Times Column and was saddened to read of her death.

It's not as if it's one for the coveted boards likes... ðŸ˜’

She was a kind of pre cursor to the Kardashians et al. She had the idea that we working class folk would be delighted to live vicariously through her high jinks.
She gave the gossip columnists something to write about.
RIP

anewme

simply known as TPT - grew up with her bring a celebrity and her wild carry on(she is my age group)

She had problems wth drugs, alcohol and was I suppose the original wild child or IT girl who settled a lot in later years.

Despite her outgoing sassy persona, she came across as vulnerable underneath and a genuine nice person . She accepted her illness with a quiet dignity.

She lived her life to the full.

Rip- 45 is no age

Got my hopes up. Was confusing her with Gavin Lambe Murphy.

If I was laying there dead on some Baltimore street corner, I'd want it to be her standing over me, catching the case. Because, sister, when she was good, she was the best we had.

To be fair her column was kinda amusing, albeit in a semi appalling way. Very much of its time.

She was like a sort of girlie Ross O'Carroll-Kelly. Only real. There was no great harm in her. RIP Ms. PT.

red ears

She had some sort of rare auto immune disease and a non malignant brain tumor.

KERSPLAT!

I know next to nothing about her but 45, Christ

Satriale

"Celebreeties" usually give me the sh1ts, but any interviews i saw she seemed like a gas cailín, I'd have gone on the lash with her.

SEPT 23 1989

she seemed to be permanently out of her box in the mid-late 90's

sure weren't we all

RIP

Oh and rip, I suppose.

I get that people can be indifferent to celebrity deaths, but this is pretty harsh

She didn't die of a brain tumour. It's not one that you die of. The cause of death is unexplained.

She had an auto-immune condition and late last year she was diagnosed with a prolactinoma. It's a benign growth on the pituitary gland which something like 10% of the population have. It's easily treated with a single tablet a day or fairly straightforward surgical removal if it grows large enough to impact on the optic nerve.

I've the very same prolactinoma. About 10% of you have and may never know you have one. It's quite unimpressive by brain tumour standards.

I hold my hands up. Fair enough, you can remove the 'I suppose'.
