During her’ time at National Lampoon magazine, she worked with Michael O’Donoghue. The two became romantically involved, and both soon joined the creative team of Saturday Night Live in the early years of the program.
The news of Annie Beats death was announced yesterday night after Saturday Night Live paid photographic tribute to her and legendary rapper, DMX, who passed away on Friday from a drug overdose.
