Denise Dawse is in a coma after suffering from meningitis.
The 64-year-old actress – best known for her 10-year stint as Yvonne Teasley in “Beverly Hills, 90210” and as Dr. Rhonda Payne in “Insecure” – is currently in hospital and Doctors don’t know when she will regain consciousness, so her sister Tracy has appealed for “support and prayers.”
Tracy shared a message on her Instagram account over the weekend, which she has now added as a pinned post to Denise’s account, which read: “Hello family and friends, from the @dreamofthesoultd page.
“As many of you have noticed, my posts have been positive and uplifting. I am trying to keep my spirits up and support those who need it. As so many of you People know I’m a private person, so it’s hard for me.
“I am requesting support and all that can be offered to me and my sister, and my only immediate family is @deniseowse. She is currently in hospital in a coma brought on by a debilitating form of meningitis. To her doctors Don’t know when she will come out because of coma it was not medically induced.
“She is a vibrant actress and director who should be many years ahead of her. Thoughts, prayers and support are greatly appreciated.
