    Thanks so much for posting this! I've always liked her - and it's wonderful to see her great intelligence, keenness of insight, eloquence and idiosyncratic manners and attitude for half an hour :)

    Miss Ashley is something else - a real force of nature. Seeing her over the decades, you do get a sense she has matured, ripened, and indeed, come home to herself. Affected by depression and bipolar disorder, she speaks very frankly about it. She also was, I think the very first to do a black and white PSA about mental illness, and asking viewers to see it as the ILLNESS it is - not a personalty flaw, not a quirk. An illness. That took courage and candor on her part. BTW don't miss her in TREME - a part of Aunt Mimi written especially for her...

    This film is 35 years old; Also, it doesnt paint Ms Ashley in a favorable light at all.
    I would ask LPB to remove it from public domain, if you care about her legacy, which is a great one.
    Thank you

    To me here, she sounded a little bit like a combination of Tallulah Bankhead and Bette Davis. I think that with the sunglasses here, she looked a little bit like Sophia Loren. She really liked and respected Art Carney, who was her costar in "Take Her, She's Mine" for which she eventually won the Tony.

    The only flick I saw her in was Coma (1976) . She was a no-nonsense lady-in-charge of the Jefferson Institute where human organs were harvested. I have to admit I find her husky voice very sexy.
