Yeah, definitely deserves her own thread. What a range of roles!

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."

Terrific in a small role in The Last Picture Show too.

no wait, that's not true, I don't think.

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

her only nomination without checking wiki was for PB.

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