“By now, it is a subject for intense argument and legal dispute as to whether Woody did her good or ill…. She was in most of the films Allen made in the eighties, often as his apparently available female, but just as often in fresh roles. She rose to every acting challenge, though she has not recaptured the piercingly tragic figure she had been for Polanski [in Rosemary's Baby]. Her look of childhood had lasted eerily long. Still, looking like a woman, she has been more ordinary.

“…. excellent as the gangster's moll in Broadway Danny Rose (84); just as good as the usherette in The Purple Rose of Cairo….”
