and the film

Jurassic Park III,

died in her sleep of natural causes Sept. 27 at her family's cabin in Wisconsin, said her mother, Judy Goldberg. A heart ailment is suspected, she said, but an autopsy failed to determine the exact cause of death.

Ms. Goldberg's entertainment career started as a bumblebee in a Chicago City Ballet production of Cinderella, her mother said, and gained momentum when she was asked to be an extra on the Julia Roberts movie My Best Friend's Wedding. Her mother co-owned a company that provided table linens for a set.

A film staffer who saw the girl helping arrange tablecloths asked her to be in a scene, her mother said.

Ms. Goldberg went on to appear in TV series including 90210, Judging Amy, The Beast, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

In 7th Heaven, she played Jewish medical student Sarah Glass Camden, who fell in love with the son of a Christian pastor.

Ms. Goldberg also played a college student looking for drugs in the Denzel Washington movie Training Day.

The actress sometimes was credited under the stage name Sarah Danielle Madison. - AP
