RIP Melinda Dillon

[dahliaclone]

Most famous for playing the mom in A Christmas Story, she was 83.

Many probably didn’t know she was a two time Oscar nominee as well.

She’s also in one of my favorite movies of all time, Magnolia.

I debated making this thread yesterday. It came out yesterday but she passed in early January. One of roles I enjoyed her in was the wife/mom in Harry and the Hendersons.

I forgot she was in Close Encounters. Been a long time since I've seen that movie.

Oscar nominated for that role too.
