I just saw that Karen Black passed away today.
Besides playing Mother Firefly in Rob Zombie's "House of 1000 Corpses" she will always be remembered for her role in the made for TV movie "Trilogy Of Terror". I also like her turn in "Jeepers Creepers".
RIP Ms. Black.

That's a bummer. I just watched "Burnt Offerings" w/her not that long ago.

Karen's most famous film performance is in the 1970 classic "Five Easy Pieces" co-starring Jack Nicholson.

I remember her from Black Sunday with Bruce Dern.
EDIT: I thought that she was in that movie, but IMBD says no.

Too bad. I had read not too long ago that she was terminally ill.

That movie creeped me out as a kid. I should watch it again to see if it's any good.
