There was a time when she was in every movie. Then she stopped being in every movie. She's one of my favorite character actresses though. :-(

I had no idea, up until a couple of months ago, that she was in anything of note besides Suspiria.

This is the first time I've seen her or heard of her, but she has a kind of Victorian(?) beauty that reminds me of Helena Bonham Carter. Historical babes to thread.

Where is Arthur? This is so his thread to post on, surely.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 01:44 (twenty-one years ago)

How is it possible that she was in such an awesome trilogy as Phantom of the Paradise, Shock Treatment and Suspira?

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 02:33 (twenty-one years ago)

can we appreciate karen allen on this thread too?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 02:52 (twenty-one years ago)

of course!

as i've already alluded to here, my favorite harper role is her small part in love in death.

― Nimrod Kovacs (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 03:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Inserts! I thought she had some semi-regular role in a TV show from the 70s where I first noticed her, but I don't see anything on imdb that rings a bell. The first time I saw Jane Adams I was reminded of Jessica too. She was on that 20-something show with Adam Goldberg, wasn't she?

Jessica Harper (search Suspiria and Stardust Memories) is no longer acting. She is now a composer and also writes children's books.

The mane-whipping convulsions she caps her auditiion for Swan off with in Phantom of the Paradise must be seen by everyone.

BTW, I made a little Jessica Harper/Paul Wiliams mix that I can email to anyone who's interested.

two years pass...

she's cool, she should act more (and her hubby runs a movie studio, shouldn't be too hard)

― bobby bedelia, Monday, 21 May 2007 07:07 (nineteen years ago)

compare:

she's cool, she should earn more (and her hubby runs the world bank, shouldn't be too hard)

― StanM, Monday, 21 May 2007 07:23 (nineteen years ago)

well, that's her comeback vehicle right there (kevin spacey as wolfowitz?)
