SO LONG, SHELLEY! Shelley Winters started off as a starlet, then became one of the most interesting actresses in Hollywood, imbuing her often frumpy, frowsy, blowsy characters with pathos, dignity, and depth. She will probably be most widely remembered for her oft-mimicked turn in The Poseidon Adventure, but even that role had a certain Shelley Winters richness. I have a lot of Shelley Winters movies to see, but I have fond memories of her performance in The Big Knife (with Rod Steiger and Jack Palance) as well as Lolita and Next Stop, Greenwich Village (recently released on DVD).
