Personal Quote:
I would like, certainly, to do different things. See more »Trivia:
Jobeth's part in The Dogs of War (1980) was significantly cut in the American version released but much less so in the British version. Steven Spielberg happened to catch the unedited version in London and immediately cast her as the down-to-earth mom whose family is tormented by apparitions in Poltergeist (1982).
