Absolutely STOLE THE SHOW in Helter Skelter
Marguerite's portrayal of Susan "Sadie" Atkins in the 2004 remake of Helter Skelter was a revelation. Completely different from Nancy Wolfe's job in the 1976 original. Nancy was also great in the role, just in a different way. Where Nancy took an approach that was almost over-the-top (hey it was the 70's), Marguerite gives us an understated, more down-to-earth Sadie. But within that nuanced portrayal there is something truly creepy going on. Marguerite reveals to us that Susan was at once human and at the same time a monster.
She was more effectively scary than Jeremy Davies as Manson. And she provided a fantastic polar opposite for the character of Linda Kasabian (Clea Duvall) to play off of. The scene where Sadie is singing "Que Sera Sera, Whatever Will Be Will Be" to Linda in the car just before the LaBianca murder (and just after Sadie asks Linda 'Are you scared?') is more frightening than any scene between Linda and Manson.
As an actress, Marguerite should be intensely proud of her performance.
I came away from this movie thinking "Watch out for Marguerite Moreau." And then I was pleasantly surprised to see her pop up on LOST.
Hollywood: Give us more Marguerite!
