  My favorite films of hers, were "A Double Life,' 'Winchester 73' and "A Place In The Sun." Such a finely honed character actor that it was easier to take her for granted. Kind of reminds me of a female Rod Steiger; I meant no disrespect with that analogy. A big brassy bitch/hellion, and she could make you feel sorry for her at the same time. And as a public figure she spoke her mind with candor. She was a hollywood blowhard, but I couldn't help but pay attention to her. Star power to the end. Hell, she even got married hours before she died. What a character! Bon Voyage, baby.

• The quintessential late-period Winters role was in the under-appreciated - tinear 06:50:07 01/23/06 (6)

  Paul Newman vehicle, "Harper."
  If you like Newman, he's at his muggy, winking, ingratiatingly "best" in this action/thriller.
  By all means, and for different reasons, do not miss the horrendous sequel, The Drowning Pool, starring the worst New Orleans accent ever. Tony Franciosa should have been forced to march naked down Bourbon St. for his portrayal of a NO detective.

        brave vicious thug, the cowardly but well-meaning soldier, the slut with the heart of gold, the slick, cynical gambler with the paid-for, catty wife--- lots of clichés to go around but it works, at least for me. The quality of the actors, of course, helps. A sterling cast, as I recall, with Richard Boone, Eli Wallach, and others.

        Hud is one of my all time favorites.
        
        A great cast. Many great lines that are a bit foggy right now . What are the lines?

        Patricia Neil " Seeing you with your shirt off made me put down the dish rag one more then one occasion"

        Melvyn Douglas saying to Newman " Hud, you are not an honorable man!"

          Another line used by Mellencamp: Nephew says "it's a lonely ole night" and Hud replies "Ain't they all?"
