The scene she did with Robert Mitchum in “Cape fear’’ is one of the most terrorizing things I've ever seen on film. Of course Mitchum just had to stand still in any film he ever did and you knew things were going to go south fast. It's one of the reasons I've only ever watched that version of that movie once.

Mitchum was awesome...AWESOME in that film...better than DeNiro in the remake.

Just watched this about two weeks ago. Probably Mitchum’s scariest performance! According to my dvd, he was drunk a lot of the time during filming and pretty hostile to the cast and crew.

Hope all is well with you!

She played the wife of Navy officer Pug Henry, also played by Robert Mitchum, in 1983’s “The Winds of War” and the 1988 sequel, “War and Remembrance.” By then Mitchum, especially, was rather old for the role, but both actors were excellent in these mini-series.

I liked his answer to Gene Barry, the Revenue agent, in Thunder Road when Barry said “We have the bumper off your Ford’. Mitchum said “Well, give it BACK.”

Funny that she and Mitchum were married to each other in The Winds of War/War and Remembrance.
