Sarah Goldberg, who starred in the television series 7th Heaven and the film Jurassic Park III, passed away last week. She was 40.

Sarah died in her sleep of natural causes on September 27 at her family's cabin in Wisconsin, her mother Judy Goldberg told the Chicago Sun-Times.

She said a heart ailment is suspected, although an autopsy failed to determine the exact cause of death.

"She went to sleep and didn't wake up," she said.

Sarah's entertainment career started as a bumblebee in a Chicago City Ballet production of Cinderella, her mother said, and gained momentum when she was asked to be an extra on the Julia Roberts movie My Best Friend's Wedding. She got the role because her mother co-owned a company providing table linens for a set. A film staffer saw her helping arrange tablecloths and asked her to be in a scene, her mother said.

Sarah went on to appear in television series including 90210, Judging Amy, The Beast, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

In 7th Heaven, she played Jewish medical student Sarah Glass Camden who fell in love with the son of a Christian pastor.

"She wanted to go to medical school, and instead for three years she played a doctor on 7th Heaven," Judy Goldber said of her daughter, who graduated from Amherst College in 1996 with a degree in microbiology, according to her IMDB biography.

Sarah also played a college student looking for drugs in the Denzel Washington movie Training Day.

The actress sometimes was credited under the stage name Sarah Danielle Madison.

Sarah was born in 1974 in Springfield, where her father worked as a lawyer. She attended the Latin School of Chicago before going to Amherst. She practiced yoga and was a trick skiier.
