I really liked her as an actress. I did think her hairstyle in A Christmas Story was more like a 1980’s hairstyle (when the movie was made) than a hairstyle from the time period that the movie took place (1940s/50’s).

She had the best soap.

I always enjoyed watching that movie, especially with the kids. May she RIP.
