Anonymous Letter from a Terrified Lesbian (1972)
Anybody remember this classic horror film starring Jacqueline Bisset, Mia Farrow and Shelley Winters and Helen Lawson in supporting roles.
I remember once staying up late to watch it and almost had a heart attack at the climactic twist ending when Helen Lawson's character says, 'the calls are coming from inside the menstrual hut!'

I love the scene in which Mia Farrow opens the letter by the lake: I PUT CILANTRO IN YOUR NUT LOAF!

I don’t remember this film, but I’m fairly sure that Karen Black and Bette Davis were in it.

Why did they cut Kay Medford and Kaye Ballard's heated scissoring scene? There was serious Oscar buzz for both...

I thought this was the WE Channel Jody Foster biopic.

Are you talking about the awards, or their hairstyles?

“Jackie Bisset tried to kiss it but Mia Farrow was too narrow!” That’s on the movie posters and it’s driving the movie audience mad!

There is no such movie. OP just made it up.
This thread is disingenuous.

And pernicious. It’s disingenuous, pernicious, AND specious!

Helen Lawson isn't a real person?

Helen Lawson was real in Valley of the Dolls and I hated her.

I always remember the lake scene. Everyone is eating cottage cheese when a bag lady (Mildred Dunnock) gives them a flyer for the Gem Faire. “Remember, girls... these might come in handy.”

I'm surprised Sandy Dennis wasn't cast.

Lucy was almost going to accept Helen’s role, but Gary Morton talked her out of it. He told her fans just wouldn’t accept her in a such a film.

Vivían Vance was robbed of her first Golden globe with her performance as the town’s only pharmacist

Can you imagine if Lucy had done it? With Viv in the Shelley Winters role?
LUCY: Scissoring? What's that? Some kinda hippie craft stuff?
VIV: Lew-ceeeee...
*beckons her closer and whispers in her ear*
*Lucy makes increasingly exaggerated facial expressions to the camera*

I worry about R7, wandering around Datalounge unaccompanied.

Good news! It's streaming on Netflix.
Might revisit it tonight with some bread pudding and Corrs.

Bump! Because of the Geraldine Page thread. She was originally up for the part of the only pharmacist in town, but Vance won role.

It really cleaned up at the Golden Raspberry Awards.

Oh! That must be why the working title was "Dirty Stone Pillows."

Films like this make me wish I could still smoke some of the weed that makes me laugh HARD.
Just some good ole fashioned skunk, a decent bong, and a film like this is all one needs to put the pen down and for get to write about the terror of it all...

Helen Lawson gave a tour-de-force performance as a Russian cannibal bull-dyke serial killer.
