One of the beautiful women in the history of show biz. I can't believe none of these postings start with her name.

maybe it's because her neurotic "rich bitch" character in "attack...." isn't very appealing. she's a victim who finally gets her revenge, but she certainly is far from being a warm, compassionate, sympathetic figure. intimidating in a sexy way, or sexy in an intimidating way, is more like it.............................................

On the other hand, there's no discounting how sexy she is, and the fact that, for a change, she's playing (sort of) a good guy in this movie, as opposed to that wonderful slut, Yvette Vickers!

Yeah, Nancy wasn't the least bit likable and I was surprised at how average-looking Allison Hayes was, considering all the raves about her.

I find her sympathetic, with her pathetic love for Harry. Harry putting her to bed is a complex scene with two completely different dynamics going on.

I agree. She was beautiful in this movie.

Her early demise in 1977 was due to taking too many calcium supplements ??

the supplement had, was contaminated with heavy metal (lead), it was toxic to her, she died in her 40's

When I watched this as a kid, never really appreciated her. Watch it again grown up and you realize how absolutely gorgeous she was.

....and what a sap her husband was for wanting that other bimbo instead. I would have been glad to make her feel less lonely!

Guess I'm the exception on this thread. I found her rather old and plain-looking whereas Yvette Vickers was stunningly beautiful.

I experience the same thing. Not only with her but other women. I think when we saw them as kids, they just looked like old women.

She was quite the stunner!
Hubby was an idiot. He should have treated her better.

[–] DracTarashV 11 years ago

She was unbelievably good looking. Stunning face and perfect body... oh yeah.

Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!

She was pretty. Surprised she wasn't in more movies.
