    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

And since people are scared to death of being shown old people, we only get a picture of her in her 40s. :)

I don't think that's the case at all. I think it has much more to do with the fact that she hasn't been on screens in decades and people wouldn't likely recognize her today. Whereas people will immediately recognize how she looked when she was most well known.

There's a couple of good clips of her in The Forest Hills (Horror, 2023) in which she's playing old but not that far from her normal appearance. I particularly enjoyed hearing her voice. I always thought she looked weird when she was younger, here she just looks like a tired old woman.

Yeah she is not actually beautiful which is quite refreshing to see on TV. :)

Interesting, dressed like that, and with that facial expression she looks a lot like that actress Mia Goth.

Yeah, I need to do some research on this

Wow! She was way cooler than I ever would have guessed from her movies.

Her 'Farie Tale Theater' has great actors and it just a lot of fun...
