I used to mixed her up with Carol King, the musician. I found Carol Kane very cute. She was very good in Taxi and in When the Stranger Calls. She had small role in The Last Detail, Dog Day Afternoon, and Annie Hall. She appeared in one episode of Seinfeld. I did not know she and Woody Harrelson were together.  |

There's a tribute video to Carol Kane on youtube that uses music by Carole King but the audio is fuzzy. Kane has sung before under her stage sobriquet, Lisa LeBlanc. Her mother Joy is a jazz singer, pianist and dancer.
Kane was in 'Taxi' and Woody Harrelson was in 'Cheers'. James Burrows was a director on both shows.
Kane knew everybody in theatre in New York at the start of the 1970s. She recalled first seeing Danny DeVito on her regular bus ride in New York when she was still a teenager, in the late 1960s. They've been friends for the longest time and Kane acted in the sitcom 'Pearl' with his wife, 'Cheers' star Rhea Perlman. Kane lived for a time in one of Jack Nicholson's houses, she became good friends with Diane Keaton and Anjelica Huston, they'd walk dogs together. And she lived just a few blocks from John Cazale so they'd go to work together when making 'Dog Day Afternoon'.

I had absolutely no idea they were an item/couple, but then I am always never very updated or just "too late" on stuff like that, but still they looked very cute and happy together.
I have always had a bit of thing for Carol Kane, ever since I first saw her in the crazy-horror/comedy Transylvania 6-5000 (1985), and where specially she has a certain incredible hot flirty and just natural sensual smile going, when the camera closes up to her face in the whole idiotic kitchen scene from the film:
The scene I am thinkin of happens around at around 01:02 and last until 01:08 or so:

It's directed by Rudy De Luca, one of the great comedy writers. De Luca worked alot with Mel Brooks. Carol Kane and John Byner have incredible comic chemistry as harried butler Radu and lascivious chambermaid Lupi.
Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis, John Byner, Carol Kane & Joseph Bologna in 'Transylvania 6-5000'
Another old-fashioned horror comedy I like from the time is 'Haunted Honeymoon' (1986), directed by Gene Wilder. I think you might like it, if you've not already seen it. The 1980s was a good decade for horror, fantasy and science-fiction comedies / parodies.

I sure enjoyed the goofy and over-the-top b-movie charm that Transylvania 6-5000 brought with it, but of course you had an impressive gallery of very talented people, and who sure knew how to make me laugh out several times. Yes, the scenes with Radu and Lupi where sure something special, and I truly loved the part where they are being brought into the basement of Dr. Malavaqua, and he goes completely bonkers with his mad scientist approach, once he steps into his laboratorium, and poor Radu and Lupi gets an earful of rage from the usually so kind and compassionate Malavaqua. I have yet to see Haunted Honeymoon, but it has been on my to-do-so watchlist, for years now. Anyway, thanks for all the info you have put up, and it is always nice seeing another fan of Transylvania 6-5 "OH-OH-OH".

I wonder why people don't get upset when women date much younger men? No one ever calls a female a cradle robber. Even when they steal an actual baby.

I had absolutely no idea they were an item/couple. Neither did I. But it’s a small town, Hollywood. |

Or the Christmas moment where she hit Bill Murray with a toaster in 'Scrooged'.

Loved her in Hester Street, for which she very much deserved her Oscar nomination. Did not know that she and Harrelson were a couple, but they look like they were good together.
I see 'Hester Street' (1975) as being an essential account of immigration and the Jewish experience. It's based on a story by Belarusian writer Abraham Cahan, a socialist who joined what would become known as "the great emigration of Russian Jews to the United States" in history books. The film was added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 2011.
1975
Of Russian and Polish descent herself, here's some classic Russian poetry I'd like to dedicate to Ms. Kane, from 'Cheers', a show which she appeared in herself, and the show that made Woody Harrelson a star.
'Another Christmas Of Agony'
