NBC vp, 44, dies in Sausalito with film crew

Nora O’Brien, an NBC Universal program executive working on the series “Parenthood,” died Wednesday after collapsing while on location in Sausalito. The cast and crew of “Parenthood,” a remake of the 1989 Steve Martin film, had taken an evening break from shooting and a few people, including the 44-year-old O’Brien, were playing basketball. O’Brien said she felt dizzy and then she collapsed. She was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Correction: The LA Times says she died in Berkeley, but several other sources including the AP, NBC and the Marin IJ say she died in Sausalito. (Photo credit: Paul Drinkwater, NBC Universal)
