That’s too bad. It was just in the past year or so that I saw The Brood and The Collector. I was surprised that she was still around. 86 doesn't seem so old these days

She seemed very kind and always proud of her best work. There are documentaries on both movies I named and she appears in both.

Too bad that “Falcon Crest” thing didn’t work out for her.

Huh?

It should have read "My eyes are green, my hair is auburn, and my dress is vivid red".

Two months after her "The Collector" co-star Terence Stamp.

RIP

I thought she was the same person as Rula Lenska, am I mistaken?

She was amazing in The Brood.

I used to get Eggar and Diana Rigg mixed up.

I should add them to the actors who could play siblings thread.

I have been a fan for a long time too. She was terrifying in The Brood. Also excellent in The Collector, and a lot of fun in the campy slasher movie Curtains.

Claudia Cardinale, Diane Keaton and now Samantha Eggar. It does come in threes...

I remember when she played Finola Hughes’s aunt on All My Children.

She was so beautiful.

The Collector is directed by William Wyler so naturally it is brilliant but ultimately a downer.

Another equally tortured character played by Sam was the sister in Psyche 59 which is on YouTube.

Always liked her since I'm a little kid. I've seen most of her films. She always was to me the epitome of British grace and beauty. I'm glad she had a long life.

She was also in a made for tv version of Double Indemnity.

Samantha Eggar, who played Doctor Doolittle's love interest Emma Fairfax, said of Rex Harrison, "Yes, he was unkind and vitriolic and very mean-spirited, but he was also very funny - until, of course, he turned on me, too."

I hated the movie she was in with Terence Stamp, THE COLLECTOR. Hated the ending.

Ah she was dubbed in Doctor Dolittle. She in fact sang little.

unforgettable in The Collector; Stamp was, too

Psyche 59 is a rainy afternoon movie and quite perverse.

by Anonymousreply 30October 18, 2025 1:01 AM

Lovely, but no condolences.

by Anonymousreply 31October 18, 2025 1:05 AM

She made many movies in the 60s Dr Doolittle, The Collector, Return from the Ashes, The Walking Stick, The Molly Maguires, The Lady in the Car with Glasses and a Gun

I watched The Collector and The Brood today and she did have range. It’s a shame she didn’t have a bigger career.
