Awww, she was amazing in a movie filled with memorable characters. "We are going to empty your mind the same way we may empty your pockets."
ReplyDelete"OPEN FIRE!"
"On War Rocket Ajax!"
"I'll take full responsibility! OPEN FIRE!"
Best line of all time:
ReplyDelete"What do you mean, 'Flash Gordon approaching'!?"
RIP
ReplyDelete"Bring me the bore worms"
Oh wow, I just ordered the Blu-ray of the movie today.
ReplyDeletegenjipress has it right about that line, though of all time might be stretching it a wee bit. Her delivery was impeccable.
RIP indeed.
Good thing you looked at her obituary more closely; I've no idea how I got her age as *81* in that earlier post. (hands over her Agonizer)
ReplyDeleteThe Burn Unit Flash Gordon Watching Party shall be in full effect on Saturday; we'll be eating Italian food and swilling Amaretto in her honour.
Your Pal,

She was also in the 1977 movie Casotto... http://images.vanityfair.it/gallery/1585/Mid/409d463f-4899-46a6-94d4-9779186bfbc6..jpg ...which is a bit sci-fi too because it has Jodie Foster playing a pregnant teen and parents who try finding her a husband...
