What a tiny little woman! I never saw Poltergeist, but I know I've seen her in a movie I watched when I was a little kid. I just can't place her. I should go look her up online where it lists her movies.

I know. She was on quite a few things. Check out imdb.com.

That's sad to hear. I loved her role in that movie.
