"The Miracle Worker" was the first film I ever saw her in. It was just a stunning performance & her best.

I thought she was a terrific actress. May she R.I.P.

The first film I ever saw her in was Demetrius and the Gladiators. The last one, I think was 84 Charing Cross Road. Several in between.

Never a weak performance, but yes, one cannot forget Mrs. Robinson, ever.

She died too young. May she rest in peace.

She also gave a riveting performance in Jesus of Nazareth.

Oh yeah, here's my write up:

 

[Dave Mack]

Another great one lost. Sigh. These last couple of years have been rough. Slowly but surely the old guard is retiring to be replaced by just a few that have their range, charisma, dignity or grace.

Fine actress, one who will be missed. RIP.

She was so great and memorable in her small role in "The Elephant Man". Her scenes with John Hurt were the most touching and human parts of the movie.
R.I.P

Mrs. Kendal: Why, Mr. Merrick, you're not an elephant man at all.
John Merrick: Oh no?
Mrs. Kendal: Oh no... no... you're a Romeo.
