Entertainment – ‘Miss Cleo’ dies at 53

Psychic Readers Network pitchwoman Youree Dell Harris, better known as “Miss Cleo,” died Tuesday of cancer, according to a family attorney. Attorney William J. Cone said Harris, 53, said she was surrounded by family and friends when she died in Palm Beach, Florida. “She remained a pillar of strength throughout. She has touched so many lives, both within her family and in the community,” Cone said in a statement. “She will be dearly missed by us all.” Harris became famous in the late 1990’s when she became the face of the famous TV infomercials. “She’s become a household name simply by the sheer force of her psychic gifts, which she’s honed since she was a little girl in the Caribbean,” the company’s site advertised at the time. “Born in the Trelawny section of Jamaica, Miss Cleo says she noticed at a very young age that she had unique talents.”
