That’s too bad. It was just in the past year or so that I saw The Brood and The Collector. I was surprised that she was still around. 86 doesn't seem so old these days
She seemed very kind and always proud of her best work. There are documentaries on both movies I named and she appears in both.

Too bad that “Falcon Crest” thing didn’t work out for her.

I used to get Eggar and Diana Rigg mixed up.
I should add them to the actors who could play siblings thread.

I have been a fan for a long time too. She was terrifying in The Brood. Also excellent in The Collector, and a lot of fun in the campy slasher movie Curtains.

The Collector is directed by William Wyler so naturally it is brilliant but ultimately a downer.
Another equally tortured character played by Sam was the sister in Psyche 59 which is on YouTube.

Always liked her since I'm a little kid. I've seen most of her films. She always was to me the epitome of British grace and beauty. I'm glad she had a long life.

She was also in a made for tv version of Double Indemnity.

Samantha Eggar, who played Doctor Doolittle's love interest Emma Fairfax, said of Rex Harrison, "Yes, he was unkind and vitriolic and very mean-spirited, but he was also very funny - until, of course, he turned on me, too."

I hated the movie she was in with Terence Stamp, THE COLLECTOR. Hated the ending.

I watched The Collector and The Brood today and she did have range. It’s a shame she didn’t have a bigger career.

Her Oscar nomination for "The Collector" was well-deserved. Great film and great performances from her and Terence Stamp. The novel that film is based on is also extremely disturbing but very well-written and compelling.
"The Brood" is also an incredible horror film. She was interviewed for the Criterion Collection release of it and I remember her saying that she felt the role was Shakespearean in structure, and she was kind of right. It's a disturbing performance and she really went all the way.

It's DOLITTLE, as in "do little" - get it?
You probably get Cruella DeVil (it's like DEVIL) wrong, too.

I remember seeing "Walk, Don't Run" (with Cary Grant and Jim Hutton) as a kid and enjoying it, but as an adult I discovered the original version, "The More the Merrier," with Charles Coburn, Jean Arthur, and Joel McCrea, and it's far superior.

Doo Littel was my drag name at my old shows in Jersey City in 1954, the bar where Chico Marx was appearing because he always was broke from gambling. I didn't dress like a doctor but I did close my "members only" Sunday set as a nurse stripping. I was a comedy queen. Every week. That's the one I left because the fatfuck house manager would pick one of us drag boys every week to give him a blowjob or no one got paid. I finally did my butch thing and socked him in the jaw twice with a sack of ballbearings late one night while wearing a hood and told him I was pimping the queens and no taking from what was mine. I really swung into it. The bar had an owner tied to the DeCavalcantes and the manager suspected me so I headed back to New Orleans where at least I could get some tourist trade and see Tarley again.
