HOME > Survivor > Survivor: All StarsMother of 'Survivor: Amazon' winner and 'Survivor: All Stars' contestant Jenna Morasca loses her battle with cancer
By Reality TV World staff, 11/23/2003
We're sad to report that Carla Morasca, 48, of Bridgeville, Pennsylvania, died peacefully on Wednesday, November 19, 2003. Morasca was the mother of Jenna Morasca, the 22-year-old winner of this spring's Survivor: The Amazon series who frequently mentioned her mother's battle with cancer as one of her primary motivations for competing for the program's $1,000,000 grand prize.
It is unknown what impact Mrs. Morasca's passing has had on Jenna's suspected participation in the currently-filming Survivor: All-Stars series. A similar tragedy occurred during the filming of 2002's Survivor: Thailand series when Thomas W. Vance, the father of contestant Tanya Vance was killed in a traffic accident while filming of the series was underway. At the time, CBS made arrangements for Tanya, who had already been eliminated from the game, to return from Thailand and be with her family during her time of grief. While Jenna was far from the most endearing contestant to appear on the series, we offer Jenna and the Morasca family our condolences and are very sorry for their terrible loss. |
