ReplyDeleteDebbie Reynolds is fabulous in What's the Matter With Helen too. My favorite Winters performance is in The Diary of Anne Frank as Petra van Daan.
ReplyDeleteI kinda love her in Wild in the Streets
ReplyDeletePoseidon Adventure after her heroic swim, and she died!
ReplyDeleteas a kid, I first noticed her in Poseidon Adventure, and then in Pete's Dragon. As an adult I've loved her in too many things to count.
ReplyDeleteCannot possibly narrow it to one because there are the times where she gave beautifully observed controlled performances and then times where she left her inner ham fly very free and gave us a "SHELLEY WINTERS" performance. I love both. Then on occasion she mixed the two together-The Poseidon Adventure is one of those times. Plus there are the early sex kitten years were she is different again.
ReplyDeleteWhen I hear her name Poseidon Adventure is the first thing that comes to mind so that's a no brainer but of her other work
Blonde bombshell period:
Frenchie (1950)
Larceny (1948)
Solidly controlled dramatic work:
Executive Suite (1954)-her role is small but she's very affecting.
The Chapman Report (1962)
A Death of Innocence (1971)
The Diary of Anne Frank (1959)
Sorta Shelley but more disciplined:
Wives and Lovers (1963)
Tennessee Champ (1954)
Mambo (1954)
The Shelley we all know and love:
What's the Matter with Helen? (1971)
Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell (1968)
