| What a talent! She was one of the few former "bombshells" who survived to old age and didn't hide herself away when she got older. I thought she was hilarious on "Roseanne," spoofing her own former image. And what a range of roles she had: a small one that fascinates me is as The Concierge in Roman Polanski's "Le Locataire" (The Tenant) and she was Natalia Landauer in "I Am a Camera" (later expanded into the musical "Cabaret"). But like most moviegoers, I'm sure, I recall her best in "A Place in the Sun," "The Diary of Anne Frank," "Alfie," as Charlotte Haze in "Lolita," and of course in "The Poseidon Adventure." |

| So sad! I was in high school when I read her autobiography and wrote her a fan letter. She sent me a lovely autographed photo with the nicest message written on the back. I loved her in "Lolita," "A Patch of Blue" and of course "The Poseidon Adventure." |

| Thought she was plain brilliant in "Night of the Hunter." That shot of her at the bottom of the lake, w/her blond hair flowing in the current in the same direction as the fronds and greens, haunted my nightmares for quite a while after seeing that movie for the first time!!! |
