She was at Wondercon for Picard last year, on a panel with the makeup artists who transformed her into the Borg queen. She was really lovely and funny and warm. It's so sad knowing she was already sick then, and still out there giving it her all.

I loved her in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977) and "Slap Shot" (1977).

Yeah, I really liked her acting; she was also awesome in MAGNOLIA, and ABSENCE OF MALCE.

She also delved into the pre-MCU comic book world as Mrs. Rodgers in the 1990 Captain America movie, which, if you're daring, you can watch here:

My first grade teacher showed it during assembly in 1971.  I was not big on movies then! I didn’t even remember the title or who was in it!  I only remembered the beginning of the film during the assassination attempt of the East Bloc scientist.  I eventually saw the entire movie again years later.

Songwriter Tom Whitlock, who wrote songs with Giorgio Moroder, “Danger Zone” for Kenny Loggins and “Take My Breath Away” for Berlin for the soundtrack for the first “Top Gun” (1986) movie, passed away in Tennessee from Alzheimer’s.  He was 68.  Whitlock won an Oscar with Moroder for “Take My Breath Away.”  Whitlock met Moroder when he was working on his car and the rest was history.

Munch was such a good character, plus it was so cool to see Belzer play him across all the different series.  I think he made an appearance on Sesame Street one time.

Yes, and he even had a Muppet Munch counterpart!  I think he was also on The Simpsons, and played Munch in, like, a dozen different series; he created his own universe!

Also he was a damned funny comedian  :(
