My aunt was a very good friend of Miss Hartman and knew she had suffered from depression but didn't know how bad it was until it was too late. Aside from the depression Miss Hartman struggled with finances, schizophrenia, and believe it or not her own sexuality. (Yes, she was bi-sexual). Anyway, she was a very great lady indeed. Very quiet but also very kind hearted and loving. I never met her but my aunt has plenty pictures with her and it's great to hear how amazing this woman was.

Thanks for the tribute,it was nicely done.I always thought she was a great actress,and A Patch of Blue was a marvellous film.So sad that she died at only 43.

Goodness-I had no idea she committed suicide.

@TheWildswan69 when you say "struggling with bisexuality, I would be interested to know do you mean she was wanting to be with women sexually, but was afraid to explore that due to fear of other peoples opinions? I had never heard about that.

[TheWildswan69]

@lafingtall yes, and I am willing to bet that those finances would have been much better had more males hired her for parts that she was probably more qualified for, but possibly did not get due to not looking like a quote "sex goddess" type. Although Barbra Darling was a very sexy role. as for the schizophrenia, I would be interested in knowing how long she had been dealing with such a diagnosis. Bisexuality can have many definitions.

She actually looks like Mrs. Brisby!

No wonder she got the part!

RIP

[DANATANLOVER]

She looked a lot like Julianne Moore.

@luvsmovies79  didn't know she lived in pittsburgh

[antisadism]

She was also the main voice actor in that underrated movie "The secret of Nimh" Which got pretty high reviews.

Any video paying tribute to this wonderful & underrated actress is to be commended. Rest in peace Biff !!!

Eerily, the great film critic, Pauline Kael, wondered in an early review of Hartman's work if she would be strong enough to make it in the cut throat movie business. I think Hartman should have won the Best Actress Oscar in 1965.
