In the realm of horror, you made an iconic mark, with roles in the classic/original Black Christmas (1974), IT (1990), The Gardner (1998), The Cat and the Canary (1978), The Ice Cream Man, Headspace, Virus (1980), Turkey Shoot and the highly acclaimed Psycho IV: The Beginning, as Norma Bates.
Of course, your involvement in Romeo and Juliet (1968) placed you beyond legendary, as well as the controversy that's followed such in recent years.
Your other parts hold breadth and worth, as well, including Mother Theresa of Calcutta (where you performed the title role); Jesus of Nazareth; Lost Horizon (1974); The Battle of Villa Fiorita; The Man with Bogart's Face; All the Right Noises; Cup Fever; The Summertime Killer; Death on the Nile; Ivanhoe (1982); Quest of the Delta Knights; Bad English I; Undeclared War; Bloody Proof; H-Bomb; The Jeweller's Shop; Distortions; Shame, Shame, Shame; and Social Suicide (where you rejoined your Romeo and Juliet costar, Leonard Whiting); while lending your voice to the DC Animated Universe as Talia al Ghul and to Star Wars, in three, popular, video games.
You lit up the screen whenever you graced it, emitting beauty and refinement in every instance. Your status in cinema is, therefore, enviable, and your legacy one that will continue to draw considerable, artistic edict.
