She was shoved down our throats in 70s cinema, but she had the charisma of a sweatsock, and has stood the test of time about as well as a rotary-dialed telephone. Was she getting humped by Harvey Weinstein‘s papa? That would explain it.
Well, Heath Barkley had a thing for her! I saw an episode of the old Big Valley show. In it Heath stopped by to see his old girlfriend Sarah who was now Sister Jacob, a nun. He acted like he sorted still loved her. Just a weird pairing.
She played a very sweet and kind person, but kind of bland and hardly someone who would keep a guy's loins burning for her. Just really odd casting. Don't know why the show didn't cast a really beautiful woman in the role.
She was gorgeous on a great two-part episode of Gunsmoke playing Johnny Whitaker's wandering mom. She had a lot of other women to play against on-screen - to read between the lines it was a traveling brothel whose madam was Ruth Roman - but she was the prettiest among them. And incidentally, filmed the same year as The Last Picture Show, a great movie she was in. She's worked a lot in a very long career.
