Variety Staff, STAFF

Actress Carrie Snodgress, who was nominated for an Oscar for 1971's
"Diary of a Mad Housewife," died April 1 in Los Angeles. She was 57.

Born in Park Ridge, Ill., she attended Northern Illinois University
and received a master's degree from Chicago's Goodman Theater School.
Her four-decade television and film acting career began with several
guest spots on TV shows including "The Virginian" and "Marcus Welby,
M.D."

She made her feature debut with "Rabbit Run," based on the John Updike
novel, after an uncredited appearance in "Easy Rider." After her
notable performance as the explosive unfaithful wife of Frank Perry's
"Diary of Mad Housewife," she took an eight-year break to have a son
with musician Neil Young (news). She returned to film with Brian
DePalma's "The Fury" and appeared in dozens of other films, including
"The Attic," "A Night in Heaven," "Blueberry Hill," "Blue Sky" and "Ed
Gein."

Her most recent appearance was in HBO's "Iron Jawed Angels." She also
appeared frequently in series and telepics including "Murder She
Wrote," "X Files," "ER," "Judging Amy," "Touched by an Angel" and "The
West Wing."

She is survived by her son, Zeke.

This is the first woman I ever saw naked on the screen.

How old was she (and you) at the time?
Was she worth the price of admission to see her nude? <g>

I was twelve. She was 24 or 25? I was certainly impressed.

Some trivia...

If you're a Clint Eastwood fan, she was in "Pale Rider" (1985). And the
X-files appearance mentioned in the closing paragraph is from season 1,
"Conduit" as Darlene Morris, the missing Ruby Morris's mother.

Damn, I thought that was her, but I hadn't looked it up online
yet just to be sure.

Thanks, dick-head.

I remember her quite clearly from "Ed Gein" and "Pale Rider." The
latter might have been her biggest and best-known film role; it's a
wonder the obit doesn't mention it.

"Blue Sky" is one of those "critically acclaimed" movies that just
completely mystifies me -- I don't understand what the hell anyone
sees in it. It might well be the worst-written "successful" dramatic
picture I have seen. I don't remember Snodgress's role in it, but I
wanted to mention it specifically because a) I hate it a lot and b)
it's of interest to a.o because it was released almost three years
after its director died of AIDS.

I would think Diary of a Mad Housewife would be her most noted role.

Good point; I should have added "to a certain generation of filmgoers"
to that statement. I don't think "Diary" has endured very well --
it's been fifteen years or more since I saw it. I don't really
remember it well enough to judge whether this is unfortunate or not.

I saw DOAMH a few years ago. As Leonard Maltin said, "Richard Benjamin's
character would drive anyone mad." What especially impressed me was that
gorgeous NYC apartment they had, despite the dated furniture. Nowadays, such
apartment-dwellers - in the movies, at least - would also have a nanny and/or
maid service. Personally, I'd skip having kids, for starters, and minimize the
housework by having as few possessions that need dusting or maintenance as
possible. Oh, and of course I wouldn't marry that kind of husband either....
:)

I don't think it was "critically acclaimed" at all. What was acclaimed was
Jessica Lange's performance -- which won her the Best Actress Oscar -- and
rightly so. It is amazing.

The film received no other Oscar noms and it fairly uneven. But there is no
denying the performance of Lange.

I thought that also, Maggie. It may very be properly structured,
but it certainly doesn't appear as such at first reading. Either
way, the point being made was lost in the controversy. ;-)~

More to the point, why is everybody spelling her name correctly? The
"Snodgrass" error is such a natural mistake that I'm really surprised it took
this long for it to pop up in the thread.

Well Candy,
Whether we all knew or not, it's just common courtesy to spell someone's
name correctLY even if the person is dead. No doubt when Carrie's
contemporaries Stockyard Channing and Swoosie Kurse pass, we'll "all know
who he meant".
BTW, clearLY English is not your first language, so I'll forgive your
inability to recognise an adverb and its correct usage.

***I assume you are putting us on since you don't seem to be a total idiot.
But for the record, the woman in question is named Snodgress and "wrong" *is*
an adverb. Your question would have been worded "why is everyone spelling her
name wrong?" in standard English usage, although "wrongly" is not
incorrect--just unusual.

Funny they don't mention the cause of death. Though given the lack of scandal
in her life, and her relatively young age, I'd assume it was cancer.

AP finally moved the obit this afternoon. Heart failure. Which of course just begs the
question, but there you have it.

Possibly. Then again, hepatitis is also responsible for a significant
fraction of liver failure cases.

I heard on WINS-AM this afternoon that she died of a combination of heart and
liver failure while awaiting a liver transplant.
