Strange to have just read about Karen Black's passing. She seemed to be in so many films I watched when I was young. And she always seemed so solid and centered in her roles - and so normal. The perfect actress to be in the unstable setting of a horror film. She made it seem real.
And I'm not sure if it's appropriate to mention in a blog post like this, but she was my first boyhood crush. Though I'm thinking she'd get a kick out of that. I hope she would.
Rest in peace, Ms. Black.
