The former child actress was immortalized in the 1971 film as the girl Violet, who turned into a blueberry.
Former child actress Denise Nickerson died Wednesday after she was taken off life support following a seizure, according to reports. She was 62.
She famously played Violet Beauregarde, the Golden Ticket recipient who chewed on forbidden gum and turned into a blueberry in the 1971 film “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.” Nickerson, who was born in New York City, worked on the vampire soap opera “Dark Shadows” from 1968 to 1970, and she also appeared in “The Electric Company,” “Search for Tomorrow” and the film “Zero to Sixty.” She left acting in 1978 to become a nurse.Tributes, including one from “Willy Wonka” castmate Julie Dawn Cole, who played Veruca Salt, poured in:— Julie Dawn Cole July 11, 2019
