Who doesn't love Shelley Winters? If you haven't seen "What's the Matter with Helen?" I highly recommend that you do. Great cast too, with Winters, Debbie Reynolds, and Agnes Moorehead to name a few. Debbie Reynolds was Hot 🔥 in this 1972 cult classic!!! Shelley was amazing in Poseidon Adventure. Love this woman!

You guys should do a video on Mercedes McCambridge! That's another actress that leaves me in awe!!

She was very sorry for eating all that icecream to gain weight for the movie The P.A. she never got her old body back. She really was a vamp.

Only because I'm to young to have seen her other movies I would say Poseiden Adventure. She made me cry for her when she died. She was a riot on Roseanne and sweet on match game. I just always loved her would have liked to hang out with her, cool lady. RIP ❤

[angelasmith]

She was Marilyn Monroe's best friend!

[steveb]

She didn't play the woman who hid the Jewish families in Anne Frank: she played Mrs. Van Daan, one of people in hiding.

It’s very rude to throw a drink on someone. If you disagree with them, you can politely discuss it. Having affairs with hundreds of people is called promiscuity.
