Title: RIP Karen Black Post by: lester1/2jr on August 08, 2013, 07:03:57 PM I saw Trilogy of Terror and Burnt Offerings decades ago and they've stayed with me. Not to mention she was in Easy Rider, Capricorn One and many others. A great loss of a distinctive actress

Unfortunately one movie I instantly think of with her in it was AIRPORT '75, and it was awful. Trilogy Of Terror was quite good, however. Rest in peace, Mrs. Black.
Title: Re: RIP Karen Black Post by: Javakoala on August 08, 2013, 10:00:56 PM My god, I didn't know she passed. I always liked her in everything I saw her in, even the crappy stuff.
One of her most underrated performances was in a wonderfully strange little movie called THE PYX. A lot of people dislike that movie, but the twists at the end are shocking and brutal. And Ms. Black played a whore with a true heart of gold. Sleep well. R.I.P.

Title: Re: RIP Karen Black Post by: FatFreddysCat on August 09, 2013, 08:49:13 AM That's a bummer. I just saw her in "Capricorn One" a couple of weeks ago and "Burnt Offerings" fairly recently as well. R.I.P.
Title: Re: RIP Karen Black Post by: lester1/2jr on August 09, 2013, 09:06:18 AM Ending of Burnt Offerings was so crazy. Maybe viewers can see it coming now but when I was a kid I didn't.

RIP. :bluesad: Title: Re: RIP Karen Black Post by: Pilgermann on August 12, 2013, 11:10:57 PM Hated to hear about this, especially because it was due to cancer. Farewell, Ms. Black, you left an immortal mark in the film world!
