Penelope Milford is DEAD to ME!

She was 77.

Jane Fonda is having a shitty month, isn't she?

I loved her in Coming Home. Why didn't she work more? She was offbeat but effective.

I guess the spaceship finally landed.

Sad. She was a nice person. I remember her producing and directing a WOB (way off Broadway) show about marginalized New York youth ... I think. Have to dig up old Playbills one of these days.

Does anyone else remember her late brother Kim Milford who played the original monster in "Rocky Horror Picture Show" on Broadway? He was also in "Rockabye Hamlet." Again, the missing Playbills.

Rest In Peace, Penelope Milford.

She only got the part in COMING HOME because Meryl Streep - who’d recently impressed Fonda filming JULIA - was unavailable.

I don’t know what the conflicting project was, but Fonda really wanted her.

I always confused her with Penelope Ann Miller.

Heeding Chic's call to "Come on down to 54" (with your brother). RIP

Jane can't even be bothered to comment on her former costar in one of her most famous films? Not a list enough for you Jane?

There wasn't one, r7. Meryl just didn't want to get stuck with another ratty wig.

Her brother did a nude layout for, I think Viva when he was starring in the stage version of Rocky Horror.

Milford was allegedly involved with Dennis Christopher whom I always thought was gay. But he's married with a family....I know, I know.

She plays the father’s girlfriend in ENDLESS LOVE. A rather nothing part, frankly.

You’d think Milford would have done more notable stuff. She worked more than fellow Supporting Actress nominee Catherine Burns, at least.
