http://deadline.com/2017/06/glenne-head ... 202110180/Glenne Headly, the Emmy-nominated actress and originating member of the Steppenwolf Theatre company, passed away last night at age 63. Her reps have confirmed this, but I have no cause of death to report at the moment. She was in production on the Hulu series Future Man, and the show’s executives were notified last night of her passing. Cause of death is still being determined.
RIP Glenne Headly

RIP Glenne Headly
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: RIP Glenne Headly
It's sad that her last released film (she has another one that's in post-production now) was the mediocre The Circle, in which she played the wife of Bill Paxton in his last film.
Two talented and often underappreciated actors.
I really enjoyed her in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, holding her own against Michael Caine.

Re: RIP Glenne Headly
I knew her best from Mr. Holland's Opus. Two of her scenes stick out...one where she expresses her fury about not being able to communicate with their son, the second on the other end of the spectrum, in which her husband ultimately resists the temptation of an infatuated student. She is fully aware of what's going on but holds back, letting him sink or swim.
That movie gets a lot of crap from critics, movie "experts" and others, usually citing its less than subtle manipulation of emotions. I don't care, I loved it. Its pro-"arts in the school" message made me a willing subject for "emotional manipulation". Extra points for using the 2nd movement of Beethoven's 7th (right at or near the top of my favorite classical pieces) in the scene where he, shortly after discovering his son is deaf, talks to his class about Beethoven losing his hearing....

I love Mr. Holland's Opus, too. And I'm not a music person. Just a older man, and a dad, who occasionally wonders "what if" about some of my life's choices.T_Bone0806 wrote:I knew her best from Mr. Holland's Opus.
