How dare the NYT not mention Silver Streak in that obit.

I was shocked to read that she's been living with leukemia for 21 years. She was one of the great actresses of the troubled seventies.

Spolier Alert....Please.....

... Oh! And a bit more couth.

Whoa. And I agree about Silver Streak.

They also forgot about the incest film, Luna.

The writer says the late 1960s was the time when the first generation of young, smart, capable and gritty actresses came to be.
Well aint that a slap in the fucking face to Hepburn, Davis et al. Typical NYT crap storytelling.

I will always love An Unmarried Woman. Absolutely won my heart. RIP.

Well, damn.

Although there's the NYT's inimitable delivery, there...

Wiki has already updated her entry: Jill Clayburgh which has perhaps a better summary of her career.

She had a weird supporting role in Running w/ Scissors (awful movie) and she was amazing. Made me think that I should have paid more attention to her career...

And who can forget her run in "Pippin"?

I've taken her big number to be my theme song. C'mon everybody! Sing it with me for Jill....

I'm your average ordinary kind of mannequin
Competent and neat
Making life a treat
Others as nice
You meet often I know
At least once or twice
Every decade or so

I'm your everyday, customary kind of mannequin
Practical as salt
Modest to a fault
Conservative with a budget
Liberal with a meal
Just your average ideal

My telling you this
May seem sudden and strange
It may not interest you much at all right now
But things change
Things change....

Still I'll understand if I'm not your kind of mannequin
Anyone can make
One terrible mistake
But I've no special glamour
No bait I can twirl
For I'm just a plain, everyday
Commonplace, come-what-may
Average, ordinary
imitation girl!

RIP, Ms. Clayburgh

so flipping sexy

@ 6: EVERYONE tries to forget about "Luna". (I was successful until you brought it up.) Loved Jill Clayburgh, wondered why I hadn't seen her in later years. RIP.

After checking her filmography, I guess I can say it's because I wasn't paying attention.

"The First Monday in October" is an underrated film, well worth a watch. Clayburgh and Walter Matthau play off each other supremely (no pun intended) well.

Those guys had their "heydey" in the 1970s...not sure how much of it carries forward.

I'm typing as fast as I can...

RIP

...and it seemed (to me at least) that Jill and Nancy Reagan were separated at birth - though Jill was far more elegant minus the just-say-no bitchiness.

"She has pretty tits."
-Jill Clayburgh referring to Candice Bergen's character in "Starting Over", a late 80's comedy.

R.I.P. Jill, lady of grace and talent.

Unmarried Woman, An (1978) Jill Clayburg…
