Personal Quote:

[on her role in 'A Patch of Blue'] Can you imagine me using words like 'nigger' and 'wop'? I've always found something to like in the characters I've played, but not this time. I really hate this woman. She blinds her daughter by accident when she was trying to blind her husband. And when the girl grows up, she beats her. How's that for a role? See more »

Trivia:

In her most important films such as A Place in the Sun, The Night of the Hunter, Lolita, A Double Life, The Diary of Anne Frank and many others, her character is murdered. See more »
