"Jacob's Ladder" may not have been recognized by audiences as the horror masterpiece it is when it first came out, but it's garnered a cult following in the years since. The film's hospital sequence of Jacob (Tim Robbins) being wheeled through the building, witnessing horrific imagery along the way, is arguably the scariest movie scene of 1990. It's also a far cry from the work Kathleen Dolan likely had to do on "Blue Bloods," which probably consisted largely of decorating the Reagan family dinner table and various police offices and crime scenes.
According to her obituary in the New York Daily News, Dolan had been a member of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees since 1978 as part of the Property Department. Fans of the show may not have known what she looked like when her "Blue Bloods" dedication aired, but they instantly recognized her talent. Numerous comments have been left under her obituary, including one user who summarized many fans' feelings by saying, "I am a Blue Bloods faithful and my heart is saddened that we are saying goodbye to Kathleen. Her contributions to the set of Blue Bloods will surely be missed."
