I hope people will also remember her for her work in 'Picket Fences'. Sadly, her character was killed off in one of those off-beat ways usually found in TV - she fell into her deep freeze and it shut behind her.

She was colorful and singular and really made 'Poltergeist' better than other movies of its type.

She did a good bit of TV work, I think.
