i was thinking of her the other day. she's a cult actress. i was drawn to her the first time i saw her. she was an outsider you could tell. yet, she was most definately comfortable with herself. yeah, she reminded me of me. she sure was in a SLEW of bizarre movies. one that sticks in my mind was forbidden zone with herve villechaize (i was on a city bus with him once LONG LONG ago. he was in a play at the hartford stage company). when i looked her up recently i discovered some rather sad news. she is still alive, but due to some rare illness, had to have both of her legs amputated. anyway, i think of her from time to time. i will have to put some of her movies in my netflix queue.
