it was either gonna be you or tokyo rosemary, but i hadn't made a guess before i clicked the thread.

it was a real eye-opener to discover that Samantha's mom on Bewitched was such an accomplished actress (and beauty).

CLASSIC!

The Lavender Lady = Classic!

The number of movies she plays supporting role is even greater than the number of albums Bill Laswell has produced!

Magnificent Obsession seconded.
I was surprised to see her in Johnny Belinda the other night.
See also: Dark Passage, Jane Eyre (I think), I dunno, who can keep track.

But especially search her in Citizen Kane.

has there been a "when accomplished old-school actors do tv" thread? (this can be one if you'd like.)

she is the reason my bar trivia team is going to the trivia bowl next weekend!

As described by Paul Lynde: "one of the all-time Hollywood dykes"

she was AMAZING in ambersons, and as charles foster kane's mysteriously chilly mother ("i've got his trunk all packed...i've had it packed for a week now...")

this thread is making my day.

Might be the best three-minute-role EVER.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 15 August 2005 22:59 (twenty years ago)

Unless it's Agnes Moorhead in What's the Matter with Helen.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:12 (twenty years ago)

Indeed. David Thomson posits that it's the most moving performance in the Welles oeuvre.

― Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:25 (twenty years ago)

Nah, its her perf in Ambersons that makes my jaw drop every time.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 12:07 (twenty years ago)

five years pass...

watched Citizen Kane, All That Heaven Allows and Magnificent Ambersons (first time! holy shit!!) in the last week and yeah, lady could act.

― Moreno, Saturday, 29 January 2011 04:09 (fifteen years ago)

Her expression during the strawberry shortcase scene in Ambersons, and when Isabel asks Eugene's "oldest friends" to come together one final time = a daguerrotype of misery.

― Rich Lolwry (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 29 January 2011 04:12 (fifteen years ago)

that was my first Sirk so i guess i'll be checking out Magnificent Obsessions next. but now i'm going to go watch her staring out the window in CK again just cause i can.

― Moreno, Saturday, 29 January 2011 04:26 (fifteen years ago)

i love All That Heaven Allows soooo much and Agnes Moorehead might be the best thing in it, if i didn't have a ridiculous thing for rock hudson.
