She had a small role in Jonathan Demme's last film (the Streep rocker).
She also had a dancing moment in the film of Hair, played Woody Allen's mother in Bananas, Al Lewis's wife on "Car 54, Where Are You?", and was in this Broadway cast of The Threepenny Opera in 1954 (Lotte Lenya, Bea Arthur, John Astin, Paul Dooley):

Beckett's publisher John Calder, barely two months after I posted about him in the "people you were surprised to discover were still alive" thread.
― the word dog doesn't bark (anagram), Tuesday, 14 August 2018 17:39 (seven years ago)
RIP. Despite the numerous howling errors in so much of the Beckett stuff he published.
― Scottish Country Twerking (Tom D.), Tuesday, 14 August 2018 17:55 (seven years ago)
RIP. He is now with Grove Press's Barney Rossett, who passed away six years ago, and Les Editions de Minuit's Jérôme Lindon, who died in 2001.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 14 August 2018 18:03 (seven years ago)
I've read most of the Beckett prose works on Calder and I don't recall seeing a single typo.
― the word dog doesn't bark (anagram), Tuesday, 14 August 2018 18:03 (seven years ago)
They're famously full of textual and editing errors if not actual typos.
― Scottish Country Twerking (Tom D.), Tuesday, 14 August 2018 18:08 (seven years ago)
the errors in his editions have been criticized in reviews etc. e.g. the collection "as the story was told" and the collection of poems from 1930-1989
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 14 August 2018 18:12 (seven years ago)
To be fair, even as (or because) he was obsessed with le mot juste, Beckett reworked his plays repeatedly, to such an extent that what he would later deem 'an error' is not always as obvious as it appears. Other instances are rather egregious, though, and both Calder and Rossett are variously responsible for them.

Huntress singer Jill Janus, suicide.
I saw them perform two or three times, and met her once. She seemed nice, and mildly nuts, but in a theater-girl sort of way, not a manic/suicidal sort of way. And I liked their music; they weren't great, but they improved on each of their three albums.
