Super actress. 85 was a good, long life.

apparently she was a censor's nightmare on chat shows due to her salty language.

an extremely talented actress, i thank her for her work.

I agree. She will be missed. She was a handful wasn't she!?!!? She really had personality plus.

The world has gained a lot from her talent. God bless her, thru her ups & downs she always had something to contribute for 85 years!

She was very talented. It's hard to be "overweight" and get good parts in movies; that attests to her great appeal and talent. Didn't she have an alcohol problem for a while? I guess she overcame it. She had lots of personality and is one of the old Hollywood Greats.

Shelley was a great actress, and she will indeed be missed. I loved her in The Diary of Anne Frank and in The Poseidon Adventure.


Hey Love Mama !!!!! It's so good to see you back here !

:blowkiss: I missed you so much !

She wasn't always overweight. When she was young, she wa a real looker. I think she used to be Marilyn Monroe's room mate, back when they were first breaking into Hollywood. Here's an early PR shot:

Most people don't know that she was instrumental in helping both Burt Lancaster and Robert DeNiro break into movies. The last movie I saw her in was HEAVY, where she played the tavern-keeper mother of a rather socially regressed (but nice) adult son. (She also supposedly owned a very sweet Boston Terrier in that film that nearly stole the show. )She was one hell of a gal.

i didn't know that..about Burt Lancaster..interesting...he's one of my all time favorite actors...i believe his last movie was Atlantic City (maybe it was one of his last movies)....a great movie with him & Susan Sarandon...i bought the movie ages ago, & still play it every now & then...
