Green Bank, N.J.– B-movie actress and “scream queen” Kathleen Crowley died at her home here April 23rd. She was 87.
MSTies will remember her role as the long-suffering Jeanne Mapes in the movie in episode 419- THE REBEL SET.
Hollywood Reporter has the story.
Thanks to Timmy for the heads up.
Quite a beautiful actress in a movie that wasn’t so bad. Rest in peace.
I most remember her from the small role of a reporter in Robert Redford’s “Downhill Racer.” Rip Kathleen Crowley.
It would not surprise me if she imprinted a few young artists who later went on to illustrate OMNI Magazine covers with cyber/android females. Breathtaking bone structure. So long, KC.
The Rebel Set is one of the few MSTied movies that I wouldn’t mind watching unriffed and she was terrific in it. Her character deserved far better than she got.
RIP
I liked her starring role in Target Earth, where she awakens from a coma (after an overdose of sleeping pills) and discovers that the city has been taken over by killer robots. I wonder if the makers of 28 Days Later or The Walking Dead were inspired by that. She was also good in the vampire western Curse of the Undead.
just rented (and got today) from Netflix, The Rebel Set (MST3K version). it was ordered before i found out she was died. Coincidence? Read the book.
had a day off from work today so watch it along with my father.
