How come none of her movies ever address her CRAZY eyes?

Yet all of them do.

Just remember that anywhere she looks, she's looking at you, even when she's not.

You know, Pink is pink because of her pink parts. She once showed them to a male friend who had never seen the bits of a white girl. He shockingly said, "It's PINK!" and it stuck. Well, not LITERALLY.

My fav will always be Karen Black as the indifferent Sea Witch in Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre, The Little Mermaid, trying to talk Pam Dawber out of screwing up her life over a man.

For me, it'll always be Karen Black in "Trilogy of Terror" with that devil doll who possesses her.

Say "cheese!"

She was going to change her name, but she decided that once she'd gone Black...

Trilogy of Terror, best ever!

No doubt she's a fine actress but because of her protruding lazy eye and her overall personality she comes off as extremely off-center and not altogether "there". Shelley Duvall and Sissy Spacek are the other 2 actresses from that generation that also come off this way.

I loved her in "Family Plot", "Nashville", "Day of the Locust" and of course, "Trilogy of Terror" which in it's day was a pretty daring tele-film not to mention a risky step for her to make a television film when she was still pretty "hot" at the box office.
