Television Psychic Miss Cleo Dead at 53: Report

Renowned television and phone psychic Miss Cleo has died after a battle with cancer.

A representative for the psychic, whose real name is Youree Harris, told TMZ she died at her Palm Beach, Florida, home Tuesday morning. She was 53.

She was first diagnosed with colon cancer that spread to her liver and her lungs.

While she appeared on TV, she urged viewers to call her with the catchphrase, "Call Me Now," delivered in a thick Jamaican accent that she had perfected. Harris was born in Los Angeles.

In 2002, the Seattle Post Intelligencer reported that Harris has referred to herself by a variety of different names. The article also noted that after performing and producing a series of plays in Seattle before joining the Psychic Readers Network, Miss Cleo only partially paid some members of the cast and crew of her plays.

She appeared in infomercials on the Psychic Readers Network from 1997-2003. In 2002, the federal government filed a complaint alleging that the hotlines are permeated with fraud.

After appearing in the documentary "Hotline," she sat down with Vice Magazine in 2014 to give her side of the story.

She was a well-known celebrity, and her fans mourned the psychic's passing.
