Awwww
She was wonderful.
Thanks For Everything, Hollywood!
To Wong Foo Too!
This is how they do it.
May she rest in peace. The world was better while she was in it
I was in love with her back in the day, and NOT as a mom.

So far 2023’s been a bumper crop of sorrow for H-wood!
Seems like every week a nuther one bites the dust!
Aw heck. She was in so many great movies.
She’ll b forever suspended in time as Ralphie’s mom.

Harry and the Hendersons too.
Boy I’m feeling old. I can still hear her yelling “Ralphie”!! She will be remembered by many and she will live on in film for others. Rest easy, you were and are loved by many.
You ought to read the Who Wong Foo wiki.

I’ll never forget her screaming when the Chinaman chopped that duck’s head off.
RIP
She played the “long suffering” mom well.
She was in Slapshot. If you know you know.
Weird…I don’t pay attention to actors/actresses much, but always thought that was Kate Capshaw. I’m clueless.
