She was great. Loved her in Fat City and Andy Warhol's Bad.
She used to hang out on occasion at our local gay bar in Venice, CA, and could not have been friendlier.
Lovely lady! RIP.

I never saw an acting performance from Susan Tyrell I did not love! She was a real artist! RIP
She starred in one of my favorite cult films of all time, The Forbidden Zone. Rest in peace, Queen of the Sixth Dimension.
