Stand and Deliver stars urge the Oscars to add late ER alum Vanessa Marquez to the In Memoriam segment

Deadline

Marquez, who was shot and killed at age 49 by South Pasadena police last August during a welfare check, was best known for appearing on 27 episodes of ER as Nurse Wendy Goldman. After Marquez was left out of the In Memoriam segments at the Emmys and SAG Awards, her fellow Stand and Deliver cast members are calling for her to be included on Sunday's Academy Awards broadcast.
