In addition to her two Oscar nominations (Midnight Cowboy; Farewell, My Lovely), Sylvia was on Broadway in The Riot Act (1963) and a revival of The Night of The Iguana (1976).
Memorial on Thursday November 21st, from noon to 230 at the Walter Reade Theatre (165 W. 65th Street).
The other day, I watched the 1989 movie "She Devil", starring Roseanne Barr, Meryl Streep (who was at her funniest) and Sylvia Miles (playing Streep's mother). Hadn't seen this movie - which I found very funny - since it was released 30 years ago.
I googled Miles to see what she had appeared in recently, and couldn't believe she passed away this summer. Not sure how I missed that ! What an actress she was.
