I love this photo of her. I’d like to make a poster of it. It was taken around 1976 during a short break in filming of “Desperate Living” at the ritzy home of John Waters’ parents outside Baltimore. Her blank and slightly cockeyed stare was in exact character for her role of the wealthy, but paranoid-schizophrenic suburban housewife–soon to turn sadist, Peggy Gravel, in “Desperate Living.”
