she was expendable

By: rischka

for shelley winters, who once described her life as a “rocky road out of the Brooklyn ghetto to one New York apartment, two Oscars, three California houses, four hit plays, five Impressionist paintings, six mink coats and 99 films”: these are films in which she dies. let me know if i’ve missed any. shelley was oscar nominated for a place in the sun (1952) and the poseidon adventure (1973) and won best supporting actress for the diary of anne frank (1960) (donated to the anne frank house) and for a patch of blue (1966). rip
