I didn't recognize her from the Superman movies but I can see it now.<br /><br />My being unfamiliar with a good actor's ouvre is not a reflection on that actor. My tastes are eclectic.

Christ, she was only 22 when she got that break. How heavy was YOUR resume before age 22-23?<br /><br />95 movies plus tv + writing and directing. Hmmmm. You may want to rethink your argument. I think it is a case of you simply not having PERSONALLY been familiar with this actress.<br /><br />You seemed confused about Superman (the first one with a young Christopher Reeve). She played his mother on the planet Krypton. Opposite Marlon Brando as his father.Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-4035703413061927692010-03-19T07:31:01.524-06:002010-03-19T07:31:01.524-06:00He was picking on me.
