Lyn Shaye (the landlady)......
Watched this again after many years and was reminded how great Lyn Shaye played the part of the decrepit, skanky old landlady....she really was fantastic in that part and succeeded in being totally creepy, disgusting, bitchy, annoying & hilarious all at the same time. Don't know of too many actresses who could have done what she did and can't think of anyone else in her role....the most important parts of an actor's talent is being totally believable in the part they play, making it memorable and owning it to where you can't really see anyone else playing the role.....I'd say she nailed all of that in spades here.
It's a shame she never got more notice or bigger parts. I see from her filmography she's worked very steadily but she is not very well known and can act just as well or better than the Hollywood big names.
