fyi, cause of death was listed as "complication of diabetes"
One of the few famous people I ever wanted to meet. Damnit.
- I have no idea what is going on there and I don't want to know, I just want it to speak for itself for posterity.
- Really hot. And, like, rest in peace.

The big brown doe eyes are one feature I find super attractive, but there is something else about the post thumbnail I can't quite articulate. The bangs and framing are one subtle element as are the vibrant saturated colors. What else do you see in the image that makes her so striking in style and symmetry either on practical terms or in terms of human social psychology/neotenic features... or perhaps it is the golden ratio in this particular still.
- I believe that's her in the Robert Altman film 3 Women.
  I'm not a big fan of Altman, but he really knows how to bring out physicality in an actor.
- It's funny how same but different she looks in the Shining.
- It's her teeth/mouth.
guy jack Nicholson is 87 (!?) i had no idea
"What can you sit on, sleep on, and brush your teeth with? ... A chair, a bed, and a toothbrush." -- Shelly Duvall, Roxanne 1987
Edit: I can't believe that after all these years I just got that Steve Martin's character 'C.D. Bales', C.D. stands for Cyrano de Bergerac.
- I love that movie.
  I have a dream. It's not a big dream, it's just a little dream. My dream - and I hope you don't find this too crazy - is that I would like the people of this community to feel that if, God forbid, there were a fire, calling the fire department would actually be a wise thing to do. You can't have people, if their houses are burning down, saying, "Whatever you do, don't call the fire department!" That would be bad.

Horror icon! 😭
