She's creepy, ghoulish, and totally campy. Watch her in "Shelter," Harlan Coben's new series on Prime Video. If they ever do another Addams Family....she's definately the new Granny
I hope she'll be able to be cast as Hester Crimstein in Netflix's upcoming Myron Bolitar series. I've pictured her in the role since the first book.
Even more important, I hope Myron's series is shot in New York and New Jersey, as Shelter is.

And Bat Lady is an Auschwitz survivor. The kid playing Mickey is pretty, less makeup would be an improvement.

Is this any good? It looks interesting, but all the Harlen Corben stuff I’ve seen has been shit.

Tovah Feldshuh is a horrific name.

Big Coben fan, r4, and I hate the stuff that was filmed in Europe. New Jersey is one of the most important characters in any Coben novel, and Netflix excised that in every single one of those series.
If you're a fan of the books, you'll be happy to know this takes place 21 different places in NJ.
Is that big windowed entrance to Livingston HS a later addition to the original school building? It looks so pomo, and I knew kids from Livingston way before then.

It has a YA feel to it. In addition to Tovah, it includes Adrienne Barbeau as Grandma Bolitar and Peter Riegert as Grandpa.
I liked the French movie of [italic]Tell No One[/italic], the one with Kristin Scott Thomas.

I know her as Mac Davis’ leading lady in ‘Cheaper to Keep Her’, and from a killer bee TV movie called ‘Terror Out of the Sky’. Then I read that she’s in a traveling show as Broadway’s Golda Meir that has found its way to my cow town! Good for her! I hope the theater has been good to her. She seems like she could have easily been a sitcom Mom.

I wish Danielle Melnick, the defense attorney she played on L&O, had made her a more regular character. She did 13 episodes on original L&O between 1991 and 2007, a couple with the subsidiaries, and she should have done more.

Actually, Tovah is a stand out in this. But you might be misled into thinking she the witched witch of the west, where in point of fact she's a good guy. Wait and see. It's a dead give away, as she the little girl who liberated all those children from the concentration camp

This is Harlan Coben on Amazon, not Netflix, so it has a different production team.
I liked the trilogy considering it is YA. They even toned down some harder edges for the adaptation - the mother had a nervous breakdown, not a heroin addiction, Ema the goth isn’t chubby.
It has more consistent low level of pulpy humour. And the kids all seem totally gay.

It's nice to see her having a career boost at this stage in her life. She took a long break to raise her kids but still worked occasionally. And if you want to see a truly lovely performance check her out in Kissing Jessica Stein.

I liked her on As the World Turns!

It has two lesbian stories going: one adult, one teen. But teen guy who's into musicals is dreaming of an open marriage with the star (Stephanie March) who has come to coach their high school musical.

So far, I love this series. I mowed through the first four in one evening. MORE PLEASE!

Also, Tovah warns Didi Conn (when was the last time you saw her in anything?) not to fuck with her again.

R16 Didi Conn is looking frail in this. I still love her, though.

this clip made me a Tovah fan..... had never really given her a second thought for 50 years.
