1. Ahh, I remember her.
She was never a big star, but she was a good actress.

2. I seem to recall Friedkin saying
She downed raw eggs and whiskey to get her voice like that. I remember at the time thinking, "That sounds about right."

3. I don't know Pazuzu, but
"Johnny Guitar" is one of the best movies ever, and she kicks Joan Crawford's butt in it. RIP to a very fine actress.
