Just to set the record straight: Sylvia Miles is an Oscar WINNER. She WON Best Actress for Midnight Cowboy (1969). She was great as Meryl Streep's loud and obnoxious mother in She Devil.
@gvt2u ... The guy who played Sidney was terrific, too. "As long as you promise me that not one penny of my money - my MALIBU BEACH HOUSE MONEY - is spent on that - that Jockey!" or "Oh, she had a terrific body. Your mother had a terrific body. She still has...vestiges of it." To which Sylvia's character retorts silently, "You always were into bodies, Sidney. I could just never tell whether they were male or female." (paraphrasing! What a hoot!)
This scene ends just before the best line in the movie: ex-husband "Give him your game show money!" Miles: "Game show money?? My game show money doesn't keep me in hair spray!"
@SuperiorArtCritic Glad to finally know I'm not the only one who apreciates this movie. Sylvia Miles was amazing. "Ever since you decided to become a lesbian!"
This movie is a raw pantheon of some of the most triumphantly vital comic performances in the history of cinema. Every character is an enigmatic standout.
Sylvia Miles, a true star. I remember her in an episode of ,"Car 54, where are you? " We are taking untold decades ago, maybe late fifties, possibly early sixties.
She was fabulous...! But i must say, she rules in, "Heat". Love her!
I've never known of anyone other than myself who is a fan of "Heat." Always one of my favorite films ever in human history. Sylvia Miles is BRILLIANT!!
