That's what is so sad, because although I never thought she was a Great Actress, she was a capable one.

After Milk Money, though, I just don't know what happened. Especially on television appearances (that sitcom she briefly did with Sarah Gilbert and Mark-Linn Baker was the worst) - it's like she can't remember her lines and when she does give them she looks distracted and like she just isn't paying attention. She also seems just a beat or two behind everyone else.

It's really a shame, because she had good comic timing.

Oh, and I know it's on the "bad movie" side of the list most of the time, but I quite like Shining Through - probably my favorite of her films. It finally came out on DVD a few years ago, and is something I'd really like to own on Blu. It's a compelling movie with a great cast - you just have to get over believing her as a war spy, but if you can - it really does work.

In any case, I'll pick this one up - I never got the DVD, so it will be a treat - I haven't seen it all the way through, just a clip here and there on TV, for 20 years.
