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):
