I thought maybe I was the last person to remember her. Apparently not, she made the BBC news.
I think she was the most the most beautiful woman that ever made a movie, and also BTW a properly funny actress.
My infatuation has tempered a bit since my 20s but I have two (2) stills of her hanging in my living room*
Any other fans/worshippers here?
FWIW, one from Nashville the other from the audition scene in Who is Harry Kellerman…
I was offering my opinion. I could explain my preference of BH for most beautiful movie-lady over (say) Diane Baker or Liz Taylor* - but some clown is going to bring up some bond girl or B&W movie goddess or some woman in the Avengers franchise - I’m stopping at c1979, sorry.
Watch the final scene of Nashville and report back.
I agree with the above: she was great in A Thousand Clowns.
At Second City, she was in “Museum Piece” playing a museum visitor with Alan Arkin as a guitar-strumming beatnik. She finally leaves and he sings after her: “You bourgeois broad! You gimme a pain in my soul!” At one time there was a short clip of it online, but it seems to be gone (although I did manage to save it).
The audio was on the LP “Second City Writhes Again” which has been posted online. I believe she also played the Sphinx in Professor Walther von der Wogelweide’s lecture on “Oedipus Rex” (or “what would have happened to Oedipus if he had read the book before going on the journey”.)
When the original ‘Freaky Friday’ came out, Julie Harris was 41 and Jodie Foster was 14. I was 11. Guess who I had a crush on? That’s right, Julie Harris as the mom character.
I hope this says more about Julie Harris than it does about me. [I was too young for it to have been a MILF kind of thing, and I never developed any kind of older woman complex. So, yeah, it was Julie Harris.]
