Miss Cleo is dead. The TV psychic died on Tuesday at age 53.
Miss Cleo, whose real name was Youree Dell Harris, had been battling cancer, though it’s unclear what type. She was recently hospitalized in Palm Beach, Florida. But as her condition worsened, she was released to go into hospice care.
The late star is best known for the Jamaican persona she developed as her on-air TV personality. In actuality, Miss Cleo was from Long Angeles. But she claimed to have real psychic abilities, which she would use on informercials for the Psychic Readers Network and other channels.
The pay-per-view service allowed viewers to “call now,” and for a fee, they would get tarot card readings over the phone. She later spoke about her experiences in the 2014 documentary, Hotline. See one of the old Miss Cleo commercials below.
