Dang. Nadafinga!

 

[DanOregon]

A very underappreciated actress who shined in just about everything she did.

 

[kickoff-time]

Dang. Didn't know she was in her 80s. She was underappreciated. Always loved her in A Christmas Story.

 

[garrow]

Wonderful screen presence. RIP.

She was one of those actors who could make utter crap watchable and memorable. Remember her turn as a werewolf in (can't remember the title) but I remember her?

A very underappreciated actress who shined in just about everything she did.

"Absence of Malice."
Achingly superb performance.



Can't find the clip I wanted, but the scene of Teresa Perrone running through neighborhood yards at dawn, snatching up newspapers in a futile attempt to prevent her father and her Catholic superiors from finding out about her abortion, was haunting in its desperation, and it was shot very well.

This is gonna **** the **** out of Hanrahan.

Reg was the first man she'd slept with since she left Hanrahan.

She did a nude scene in "Slap Shot".

And had a very nice rack.

Close Encounters. Harry and the Hendersons. Just a great variety of roles where she made small parts seem way more important to the plot.

RIP, Melinda.

 

[Liut]

And had a very nice rack.

... with sizeable handle bars. RIP

 

[Octave]

I thought she was beautiful.
Her and Teri Garr in the same film- big excitement for a boy.
RIP.

No, that's Barclay Donaldson. Hanrahan's an ape!
