The most recent film in which I'd seen her was as Neve Campbell's aunt in Wild Things. (I think she was her aunt, anyway she lived with her.) She had an even better part in Blue Sky as

Many people who use these messages boards were a decade or more from being born when this, one of her few leading roles, was released, but it is definitely worth seeking out.

She was a really nice lady. It was sad to hear she passed away. Too young.. She was a great actress by any standard..

Sort of like her character here, she forsook her prime acting years, when she became involved with musician Jack Nietsche. Disturbing that, after her 'comeback', she played a psycho in a Bronson flick.

What a career she would've had.
