Gena Rowlands would be so proud of you all right now. And to the asshat slagging off John Cassavetes, you clearly haven't seen Faces, Gloria or A Woman Under The Influence!!

So sorry to hear Elke Sommer has died. We were in Percy’s Progress together & though we had no scenes together we often chatted off set. She was delightful & very beautiful.

R.I.P. Elke Sommer. Her statuesque beauty graced the screen in films like The Prize, The Oscar -guilty pleasure- and Ten little Indians. Stunning screen presence.

RIP Elke Sommer [1940 - 2026]❤️ I probably saw her first in A Shot in the Dark where her talent for comedy was apparent. She totally won me over in Carry on Behind - a marvellous addition to the established cast. Her scenes with Williams are joyous💯

Actress Elke Sommer has passed aged 85, just three months after her husband died. Huge fun in Pink Panther sequel A Shot in the Dark, she was also adored in the UK by producer couple Peter Rogers & Betty Box who used her in their films across 20 years inc Carry On Behind in 1975

Jeez, they keep coming this week. We did the LISA AND THE DEVIL DVD commentary together (with Alfred Leone and Elke’s dogs) at her house in Holmby Hills. R.I.P.

Oh, rest in sweet peace Elke Sommer. I worked with her on the Off Broadway play TAMARA in 1989-1990. She didn’t know any of our names so it was always “Hello, friend!” and “Where’s my wine?” For Christmas, she gave us holiday lithographs that she had made. Dear lady. #ElkeSommer

Sommer was more than a '60s starlet: superb in A Shot in the Dark, The Prize & Lisa and the Devil; a gifted painter who taught on PBS & a committed stage actress. She worked in European films long after her Hollywood career faded. Glamorous, yes, but also warm & intelligent. RIP.

#RIP Elke Sommer. A producer on ‘The Prize’ told her: “You have to look at the screen: behind you there is an aura. I can’t explain it, but you’ve got it and [others] haven’t, despite all their beauty, their physical charms and their features.” hollywoodreporter.com/movies…

Another day, another sad loss. Rest in peace, Elke Sommer, beautiful comedic costar of arguably the best Pink Panther movie.

The negative Cassavetes put-downs inspired by that dork who questioned his importance makes me think these people are confusing his movies w/Henry Jaglom's. I liked Eating & Tracks but found the rest of Jaglom's films unwatchable & his personality relentlessly smug & obnoxious.

I missed most of Barbara Barrie on Barney Miller because I was of an age when I was out of the house more than watching TV, but even before Breaking Away or a memorable one episode shot on Mary Tyler Moore, I'd seen One Potato, Two Potato (1964). Brave film, brave performer.

There's a lot of gay ppl doing culture commentary now who do not know cultural references beyond the ones that have been memes on the internet. In previous generations being gay in that space was all about being a nerd about cultural minutiae of the past. That was the foundation

Adorable! A little dog named Nina, belonging to a parish priest in Argentina, is a regular at mass in town and even has her own spot at the altar.
