Spotlight - Colleen Dewhurst, Part 1

[@shayekisitu]

Such a wonderful actress. Her voice is amazing to listen to. She is so very relatable as an actress and human being. 🌹🕊🌺

[@ronnie_5150]

Want to hear her sound really creepy? In the movie "Exorcist III" They got her to do the voice of Satan. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJfUdqmrqd-Xn6s

[@wsddrama8735]

did a series with Colleen...one of the greats on and off the stage.....LOVED HER and was in constant awe.

[@nomibe2911]

Her portrayal in Anne of Green Gables was amazing.

[@leonard530]

[@yvonnejackson5970]

Very strong spirit and character and comes through in her acting and in interview noble and charming at the same time need more of these God gifted women our loss is heavens gain....."

[@patriciamartinez5836]

A marvelous actress and remarkable woman. I loved her.♥️

[@terijune3307]

Just saw Anne of Green Gables for the 2nd time. She and her "brother" "Mathew Cuthbert" were awesome. Love her greatly.

[@corgisrule21]

I can hardly believe this was done so close to her death... she still seems good here. She was one of the best actresses though, I guess, for a reason. Xo

[@daylinlott5723]

She was known for her self-discipline related to performances.

[@timandrew1091]

My all time favorite actress. Got my picture taken w/ her in Hartford, Ct. when she did: Love Letters

[@aprilstanley8708]

She was one of my favorite actors

[@eventsigil9176]

watching her on METV in Hitchcock presents right now

[@MsRan59]

I always had and still do adore her... my favorite was "Baby, makes Six"... but her son is an awesome actor. It runs in the family....RIP Colleen, you are being missed... " Thanks for the memories"...

[@petergraham8681]

This interview must have occurred shortly before her death. 5 years before this I had the chance to meet her twice & had fine conversations one of which took place when she greeted us in our backstage dressing room following a performance of LOST IN THE STARS at the LONG WHARF THEATER. Apparently her Christian Science beliefs were such that she did not choose medical treatment for what proved to be terminal cancer. A fine & generous lady who remains missed to this day.

[@lotusbuds2000]

I love her character n acting...an authentic soul..no work done!!...cant compare to todays plastic faces...

[@camd.4923]

[@ryanscottlogan8459]

Filmed just a few months before her death.A great lady of the theatre.God rest her.❤️🙏🏻

[@robertd.carver6240]

I was fortunate enough to have attended a performance of the pre-Broadway tour in Atlanta of a comedy entitled "An Almost Perfect Person," starring Dewhurst in 1976 or thereabouts.

[@sshannon1948]

She passed away in August 22, 1991 as the result of cervical cancer.

[@Muttonchop57]

I saw her with Ben Gazarra in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. A very exciting performance.

[@ginseattle]

One of the best damn actresses I've ever seen.

[@thomasmagnum3588]

If you are here reading these comments, you must see her and Jason Robards in Eugene O’Neill’s “A Moon for the Misbegotten”. Absolute master class in theatre acting.

[@carminabanzon3303]

Often search for iconic actresses after watching them in new castle after dark. I know its worth it.

[@teamjesus2470]

RIP Colleen 💓

[@kenanderson9673]

Gables, Stranger Calls, Murphy Brown, Between Two Women are iconic but her brief performance in Dead Zone hits me.

[@aprilstanley8708]

@Teri June Colleen and the the other actors were exceptional in Anne of Green Gables. A memorable movie. The remakes could not compare

[@jameycollins725]

You are so correct! She and Richard Farnsworth were absolutely the only ones who could perfect the roles of Marilla and Matthew. The remakes will never come close to the originals.

[@teeniebeenie8774]

greaatest stage actress i ever saw....

[@davidlionheart2438]

She was absolutely fucking brilliant in "When A Stranger Calls". Fuck the critics. I love her and I love the film.

[@filmsseries8068]

She was also great in 'The Alfred Hitchcock Hour' An Unlocked Window episode (S03E17)

[@LibbySlaughter101]

Why degrade yourself with that language?

[@OMENAKAKKU-pw1tj]

Amazing

[@donpace6405]

Just Beautiful she was wonderful R.I.P.

[@ParttimePilgrim]

I wish they would finish an idea, or a sentence so i could follow the conversation better! She s a great actress

[@wcraft30]

love her! !

[@momthree789]

The last of the real actors with character.

[@dextergriffin53]

Meryl Streep

[@ts121084]

@@dextergriffin53 Streep is obnoxiously self-important.

[@RobertSmith-iu1sl]

What a gem.

[@pjgumby]

She was even beautiful in her later years.

[@lowe-quay-shush]

She had a great real name (born as) to match her amazing voice: COLLEEN ROSE DEWHURST!

[@neiljoosse8989]

Marille was a good old school Christian woman. A rare commodity these days...

[@marcoaceves3580]

Here for the exorcist 3

[@Brunette_Rapunzel]

Best Marilla ever!

[@reverie_song]

Would've loved to see her in Harry Potter films.

[@jc6594]

Today Commemorates Colleen's 100th Birthday

[@armandoucles5346]

Colleen Dewhurst reminds me of a female version of John Wayne. Her voice, her demeanor and her onscreen presence.

[@heru-deshet359]

Illness must have extremely aged here. She was only 67 here and looked so much older. R.I.P.

[@debra13]

She was thinner- but to me still beautiful.

[@ericocccams5865]

17 of them, Father.

[@patsyparisi2620]

They bled a great deal. Thats a problem that I'm working on father, all this bleeding.

[@Ency10]

R.I.P😭😭

[@johnvolkman5015]

I've always thought she did the voice of the demon on The Exorcist but come to find out that was Mercedes ? I can't think of the actresses last name... but for years I thought it was this lady

[@swkenny]

She was the voice of the Demon in The Exorcist Part III and does it brilliantly!!! I actually think her voice is even better than Mercedes McCambridge's in the first movie but both are great.

[@DC-pn8dp]

swkenny you’re right she absolutely nailed it, with a little studio fx

[@swkenny]

@Lucio Good question but yes I'm almost certain it's her because of the laugh before she kills the priest. I'd be very surprised if it was anyone else.

[@swkenny]

@Lucio Haha totally agree!!!

[@klotchie]

Amazing Pazuzu voice!!!
