Youree Dell Harris, whose Jamaican-accented character Miss Cleo was the face (and voice) of ubiquitous psychic hotline commercials in the late 1990s before the company was fined by the federal government, died on Tuesday in Palm Beach, Fla. She was 53.

The cause was cancer, William J. Cone Jr., a lawyer for Ms. Harris, said in a statement.


I remember seeing those commercials late at night on Nick at Nite. But eventually, she was found out as a fraud, including her accent.

I remember when she was the voice of the Haitian woman from GTA: Vice City. Her character's name was Auntie Poulet.

I remember her well. I wonder what she's been up to since faking being psychic.
