So funny/flirty/hawt in Silver Streak
--Stockhausen's Helicopter Quartet (Elvis Telecom)

Srsly, I had such a crush on her when I was like 10 or 11. She was given so little to do as she got older but was surprisingly good on the short-lived Dirty Sexy Money. RIP.

Never realized her potential after being so terrific in An Unmarried Woman. RIP.

very sad; rip.

I saw An Unmarried Woman at exactly the right moment, when I was 17 and becoming completely immersed in film. So it's right there with a lot of other films from that time--Manhattan, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, The Deer Hunter, Coming Home, etc.--that had a huge effect on me regardless of how well they may or may not hold up today.

It holds up very well, actually. I wish it was popular as the Woody films from the same period.

lol @ "Arthur Schlesinger's touching account of the Kennedy reunion"

Just realized something else. I went to see Nashville last night, and it was originally supposed to have been introduced by Michael Murphy. He cancelled the day of, and we were told it was because he was shooting somewhere. I wonder if this was the real reason.

(What about "Sister Sledge: new first 'family' of disco." Replacing...the Bee Gees or the Ritchie Family?)

One of my high school teachers showed us "An Unmarried Woman" in class on two separate occasions, and I think it was because he had a huge crush on Jill Clayburgh.

Just last month I spent the better part of an hour trying to remember who played the female lead in "Silver Streak". (Diane Keaton? Candace Bergen?? Ooh, Jill Clayburgh!) Sometimes you just feel like using your brain rather than relying on that IMdB crutch.

Anyways, RIP. She was wonderfully snarky playing a vindictive divorce lawyer on "Law & Order" one time around '97.

she gave such good phone in silver streak

noooooooooooooooo! :(

what an actress...she's one of the icons of the 70s :(

I showed my grade 6 class this clip this morning (up to about the 2:30 mark):

Awww:

Then she and her husband, the playwright David Rabe, had real children, Lily and Michael. And although Ms. Clayburgh kept working, her public presence grew more intermittent, the available film roles more motherly or eccentric. (She appeared in the 2006 film version of Augusten Burroughs’s “Running With Scissors.”) She was so greatly missed that any major appearances were apt to be described as comebacks (two television series in the late ’90s, “Barefoot in the Park” on Broadway in 2006), but the roles that should have been welcoming hardly existed anymore. Only in life did anyone wonder what had become of all those Ericas 30 years later.

She remained elegant, lovely and so recognizable that she became accustomed to being treated as an avatar. “My God, you’ve defined my entire life for me,” one weeping “Unmarried Woman” fan told her in 2002, and that experience was apparently not unusual for her. When she and Lily, an actress, roomed together in Manhattan in 2005 as both of them prepared for stage appearances, a writer for The New York Times visited the 61-year-old eternal heroine and still saw her unforgettable movie persona.
