wow, the Private Benjamin sitcom ran a year and a half! She lifted that movie out of the humdrum gutter.
I guess I saw her in The Sting years before anything else. I'm sure she was good in Daisy Miller and Scarecrow, but haven't checked those recently. And I think I remember her bedroom scene with DeVito in "Taxi."

Her mom was a silent-film actress... And EB was trapped in the elevator w/ Archie Bunker!

Checked, and the other LPS supporting actress nod was Ellen Burstyn.
