Classic line in that movie from Tuesday Weld, Martin Mull's wife, who along with Mull was attempting to get their daughter back from a "Moonie"-type organization. After they were kicked out of the "Moonie" house, they are in the car and the mild-mannered "Kate," as Weld's character was called, glumly said,

"I can't believe I called the High Priest a c@#@su$%r."

And another great line: Christopher Lee, who often played Dracula, was Mull's boss, a Wells Fargo VP who rode with a group of gay bikers on the weekends. When Harvey Holroyd (Mull) calls them a bunch of "pansies," Lee says, "My men are not pansies Holroyd. They are tough dudes."

LOL
I remember Kate had like an English Sheep Dog, and she was having an affair with it’s groomer. When one of her friends asked about her new boyfriend she replied “I only see him when I get the dog clipped” then the dog walks by and he’s completely hairless.

Wow bad 70s movies. LOL

“Peter Bonerz was the actor. He also had a fantastic role as a shrink in “Serial,” the classic movie of the 1970s lifestyle.”

Wasn’t the shrinks name Leonard?

Ahhh, the memories. Yes, Leonard. The son, the little white kid, “Stokeley,” comes in for shrinking and Leonard gives him plastic poop. “You have to get in touch with your childhood,” Leonard tells Stokeley. “I’m only eight years old you dork!” Stokeley screams back. Leonard says, “Perfect! Then we don’t have far to go.”

And Bill Macys character who tells harvey that he’s seeing Leonard...the says “I love the water, it’s like returning to the womb”, and Harvey replies”Oh God....you are seeing Leonard”

Did you by chance read the novel by Cyra McFadden?

I did read it---I was so excited by the movie. It is NOWHERE as campy or clever as the screenplay. It's one of those few examples where the movie is much better than the book.

You know, it's also an example of a movie where only people who were alive and really aware in the 1970s would "get it." I guess it's our version of "Rent" to homosexuals :)

God speed to Suzanne, a real beauty and fine actress. Here is the clip of the final scene from Newhart.

She had that smokers voice, back in the early ‘60s/late ‘50s I would believe that a high number of Americans smoked, it was vogue.

Then they banned cigarrette commercials on tv.

“...the prevalence of smoking in the United States has declined from a peak of approximately 40% in 1965 to 20.9% in 2005.”- http://www.springerlink.com/content/t459r15463704w37/

She was on 2 or 3 episodes of the Fugitive, I think that David Jahnsen (sp?) also succumbed to lung cancer and probably had a bit of a scratchy voice from smoking.

She was married to that goofball?!

I was in the checkout line at the grocery, yesterday, and one of the tabloids said Pleshette had cancer and was now going to refuse treatment so she could die. I didn't know she was sick. RIP, Suzanne.

She and Troy Donahue were also in “Rome Adventure” with Angie Dickinson. Suzanne was the good girl, Angie was the bad girl, and Troy was the good-looking doofus. I absolutely loved that movie when I was a teenager.

What a stark difference between Julie Newmar and Suzanne Pleshette! It’s just me, but I’ve always preferred the gorgeous brunettes to all other types of women. What a tragedy that cancer claimed Suzanne. I must mention my other favorite beauty again, Janet Margolin, who also died much too early, at 50 to cancer.

Thanks for the ping on the Freepathon thread. Very sad news. Tom Poston was also one of my favorites. I never knew they were married. Now they're together again and probably yukking it up with Steve Allen!

She was stunningly mysterious as Annie Hayworth in Hitch's "The Birds":


Scheming? Dreaming? ?
