I think she was undervalued and always seemed like such a sweetheart, except for the time she played a twisted serial killer.
I'm a huge fan. I loved her in "The Attic", an excellent, low-budget psychological drama.

I like her in everything. She can do no wrong. My only problem with "Diary" is that I can't stand Richard Benjamin. What a jerk. They lived in a fabulous apartment.

She was a great villain in the Charles Bronson movie Murphy's Law.

Right at the prime of her career, she started a long relationship with Neil Young. After their child was born with autism, she put her career on hold to focus on raising the kid, and never really got that initial momentum back, though she did good work in films like Pale Rider later on.
Would have been interesting to see what she could have done otherwise. I thought she was a good actress.

Without checking I am guessing she was the sympathetic teacher in Carrie right?

She was a great villain in the Charles Bronson movie Murphy's Law. Yeah, that's it. I forgot the name. Toasted Cheese recommended that one to me. It was enjoyable.

Yes, enjoyed her in Diary of a Mad Housewife, The Fury, The Attic. I especially love her characters in "The Fury" and "The Attic". The latter one I feel so sorry for her. Ray Milland did a really good job later in his career playing sour, cantankerous old geezers. He always looked one bowel movement away from the blue bird of happiness.

Murphy's Law - 86' is one of my favorites, along with 10 to Midnight - 83', Death Wish 2 - 81' and Death Wish 3 - 85'.
Bronson had one released in 1980 called Death Hunt, set in 1930's Yukon wilderness with Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson and Andrew Stevens. He must've had a rapport with him, considering they teamed up again for 10 to Midnight. I liked Bronson's contemporary set films the best, but DH is still a goody. It is a true manhunt story and Bronson is the one being hunted by the authorities.
He was also a handsome man. You never hear that about him.

It was so good! Ray Milland was a really good looking and great actor back in the day. He was also a raging alcoholic. I remember seeing him in a horror movie that took place in the swamp. It was called Frogs, and it was TERRIBLE! My friends and I saw it in a drive-in back '72. So sad that he was making cheap horror movies! Made another one with Rosie Grier call The Thing with Two Heads. It was so cheesy!! Such a shame. Milland was such a talent.

He was also a handsome man. You never hear that about him. Bronson had a commanding screen presence for a little guy, but I never found him particularly great looking or sexually appealing myself. Now Stevens was a handsome man. Andrew Stevens was adorable. Though I can never picture him getting together with my favorite Angel. Unless it was for certain, ummm, semi-obvious reasons.

Did Stevens star on Angels? I haven't seen as many Angels as you Mr. D. No. Andrew Stevens and Kate Jackson were married for about a year and a half during the late 70s. They didn't appear to have much chemistry.

Yes, I looked him up on IMDB and now get what you were referencing. It was a publicity stunt, pretty darn obvious and a pretty boy like Stevens, any gay rumors would have to be quashed. "Normalcy" must prevail at any cost. He was just too adorable for words in "The Fury", complete with a yummy tummy! I like the movie, but it's kind of all over the place. And what a crazy cast. Everybody seems to be doing their own thing.

I forget that he had been a good-looking man. The first movie I ever saw of his was "Dial 'M' for Murder" and I loved it. This was also my first Hitchcock movie. I am a big fan of RM's. Though I kind of prefer latter Ray to earlier Ray. I just recently watched both "Frogs" and "The Thing with Two Heads". I like "Frogs" pretty well, but I LOVE "Thing"! At just 79 minutes, it's a fast paced, tightly plotted AIP charmer. And you gotta love Rosey Grier. He is the warmest, sweetest, most adorable teddy bear ever. Also, and most importantly, "Thing" is HILARIOUS! So many great lines and scenes. Like after surgery, when Rosey first wakes up and finds himself cheek to cheek with Ray, he asks in a panic... "What's going on here? What did you guys do to me?" Ray answers in a very slow, tired voice... "We are temporarily joined together at the head!" That's some precious dialogue.

Just FYI. No biggie. But her name is Snodgress, not "grass." I do remember her fondly from the late '70s-early '80s. She passed in 2004.

All this time I've been saying I'm such a fan while calling her the wrong name! Sorry, Carrie! Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I do appreciate it!
