Farewell, Suzanne Pleshette (1937-2008)

Actress. Comedienne. Talk show personality. And in The Birds (above, screenplay by Evan Hunter), perhaps the most fully realized of Alfred Hitchcock's dark-haired girls.

GreenCine Daily has links to to the BBC obituary and other tributes here.

I was 13 when I saw Youngblood Hawke in a theater. It was playing on a double bill with Fail Safe, and provided much needed comic relief. I thought Pleshette so beautiful, I couldn't understand why James Franciscus would not want to be with her.

That's a wonderful image of Pleshette that perfectly captures her unique brand of smoldering sensuality! Thanks for posting.
