It is very sad to hear the passing of someone we have never met in person yet enjoyed so much on film. She was a very powerful and terrifying actress who will be missed by all her fans. Does anyone have information on where and when the funeral or memorial will be held?

You cannot mention the films of the 70's without mentioning her. She was in Easy Rider and started that brief moment of freedom for directors to take chances and actors who didn't look like Doris Day and Cary Grant to be leading women and men. Her performance in FIVE EASY PIECES is heartbreaking and vexing at the same time. You wanted to slap her in the face and then hold her and tell her it was going to be alright, much like Nicholson's Bobby Dupea. and on the other end of the spectrum I remember her battling a small doll in an apartment in Trilogy of Terror. Those eyes. That voice. That talent.

She was just lovely. 70s definitely her decade. Everything she appeared in seemed to be gold – even half-forgotten stuff like The Outfit with Robert Duvall was just great.

That face, oh boy, that face. I truly Loved her. Not too many actresses can be Sexy and Horrifying in the course of their career and she could do both. Sorry people. They broke the mold when they made her. She is another of those who really deserve the title ICON in front or after her name. !!
