Nikki Finke, the sharp-tongue Hollywood journalist famous for her seemingly non-stop scoops, has died. She was 68.

An announcement of her death was posted Sunday on Deadline, the website she founded in 2006 and transformed it into an essential source for entertainment news. Finke, who remained reclusive for most of her life, died of a prolonged illness in Boca Raton, Florida, the website reported. Perhaps best known for starting stories with her famous “TOLDJA” expression, Finke had a “take-no-prisoners” style that made her both feared and respected in Hollywood.

In 2006, she started “Deadline Hollywood Daily,” which helped usher in an era of fast-paced blogging. Notably, she bought the URL for “14 bucks and change,” she once said. She was seen as the go-to source for news during the 2007 writers strike that brought Hollywood production to a standstill. The New York Times said her reporting “solidified her position as a Hollywood power broker.” In 2009, she sold Deadline to Jay Penske’s media company.
