Paula Kelly- how do we feel about the veteran who was cast as Helene?
Paula Kelly could do anything -straight drama in The Andromeda Strain and Soylent Green, comedy in the first season of Night Court, or holding her own as a singer dancer with Chita Rivera and Shirley MacLaine in Sweet Charity. She left us far too soon in 2020 at the age of 77.
And for all you bush fans, Paula Kelly was the first model to ever show actual pubes in Playboy in the August 1969 issue.

Loved Paula Kelly and she should have been a bigger star. She's my favorite part of Sweet Charity.

Paula Kelly is also a Linda Lavin survivor.

"The Andromeda Strain" is a great edge of your seat movie and Paula and cast are terrific.

She really was extremely talented -versatile, and beautiful as well. I don't know why she didn't have a bigger career -she stood out in everything she was in.

I was on 25,000 Pyramid and Richard Moll was one of my celebrity partners. I asked him why Paula had left the show. The question kind of threw him and he said he didn't know.

Was it strawberries or raspberries that she was savoring while most everyone else engaged in cannibalism?

The Andromeda Strain.
This makes me want to watch it again.

Have you all forgotten her most legendary role?

77 is too soon for kind, talented people, R6. There were still a lot of roles for her to play.

She replaced Judith Jamison in Sophisticated Ladies.
