I remember when she got hit by a car and nearly killed. Probably 30 years ago. Glad she lived to a ripe old age.

NO air bags back then.. oh wait she was actually hit by a passing vehicle and survived. I wish I had a DI like her in boot camp. A pussycat at heart..

RIP Eileen

She was crossing the street with Goldie Hawn, as I remember.

Tess Skeffington in "Murder By Death". One of my all-time favorite movies.

I remember her from “The Last Picture Show”. I haven’t seen the movie but remember a TV show. Whoever it was who played Private Benjamin in the TV show was hot as a firecracker.
