I thought her a distraction and badly miscast in The Godfather trilogy, but exceptional in all the quirky comedic roles she had. Had a wonderful career. May she rest in peace.

I LOVED her - in the role of a communist sympathizer no less… in Warren Beatty’s REDS. What a loss. Great actress.

I loved her in Annie Hall and Godfather I and II (I had no use for Godfather III). May she RIP.

One of my all time favorite actresses. Shocking because there was no word about her being ill.

Fun fact: The original Star Wars movie lost the Best Picture Oscar to Annie Hall.

Proving once again the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences wouldn’t know a good film if it hit them over the head.

It resonated with me… I had a corporate job and left it to raise my firstborn (plus started my own modest business).

I was not a success like she was in the movie (money wise) but what a blessing it was for us 😊
