I always thought she was kinda cute.

She was good in the Stepford Wives

I thought 5 Easy Pieces was an interesting movie. Therefor it should be no real shock to understand that I thought The Lion in Winter was one of the best movies I've ever seen.

Katherine Hepburn was awarded her 2nd Oscar for her role in that movie. The dialogue in the movie was exquisite. The riposte, jousting of intellect is just breathtaking. That P. O'Toole played Hepburn's 'nemesis' didn't hurt whatsoever.

I always had the perspective that the title, 5 Easy Pieces, was an oblique musical reference, i.e., scores, with respect to the character's being sketched in the movie. All the actors played their roles well, including Jack Nicholson. He being the central figure, albeit the director tries to elicit sympathy from the audience for the character's plight, but the guy was actually a pretty unlikeable guy; you hated to like him.

She's had that cute thing going, if cross-eyed blonde thing works for you. Otherwise she's had a sort of Claudia Black thing goin' there for me.

Wow, now there's a name I haven't heard in a very long time; Karen Black. I always thought she was hot, back in the day.
RIP
