Jane Randolph, RIP

Glenn Kenny, over at his Some Came Running blog, has a nice appreciation of actress Jane Randolph, who died May 4 in Switzerland but whose death was only announced here in the states today.
Randolph, who was born in 1915 in Youngstown, Ohio (coincidentally, pretty close to where I was born) only acted for about a decade, but her filmography has some very intriguing entries, including an uncredited ice skating model for Disney’s BAMBI, the horror comedy classic ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN, the great film noir T-MEN and two of my all-time favorite films, CAT PEOPLE and CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE.
Here’s one of Randolph’s most famous scenes, where she’s stalked by — well, something — in CAT PEOPLE.

Sure Will,
burst my bubble by stating her birthdate and reminding me she was older than my mother instead of that hot 20-something I’ll always imagine her as.
Time to get CAT PEOPLE and CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE off the shelf and view them again.
