RIP A great character actress, she was always memorable and a joy to watch.

 

[Walter Kittel]

RIP. She was a terrific actress. I am not that familiar with her earlier television work, but I invariably enjoyed her presence in those works I viewed in her later years.

- Walter.

Sad so many great actors and actresses are ultimately remembered for their lesser roles. 93 years is a good lifetime. May she R.I.P

RIP Ms Sternhagen.

I’m not familiar with her broader body of work, but she was a memorable presence in 2 of Frank Darabont’s Stephen King adaptations, Misery and The Mist.

She and Farnsworth were gold in Misery. I lost my mother over the summer and she loved them both in that film.

I remember Frances Steenburgen mostly for playing Cliff Clavin's mom on CHEERS! She was great in everything I saw her in, though.

May she Rest In Peace, and for a life well lived, CHEERS!

She had a long life and wonderful career, but I'll be very sad not to see her in anything new. I just loved her as Kira Sedgwick's mother on The Closer. Always terrific in everything I ever saw her in. R.I.P.

I've seen very little of her work but she was memorable in Fedora.

 

[Bob Cashill]

She went toe-to-toe with Sean Connery in Outland; great performance. And I saw her onstage a few times, including Edward Albee’s Seascape, her last Broadway show.

The first thing of hers that got my attention was back in 1981, when she played Sean Connery's sidekick in Outland. She single-handedly kept that film from being a waste of time.

RIP Frances Sternhagen; whose work can also be seen in the documentary “Sanford Meisner: The Theater’s Best Kept Secret” doing a great scene study exercise opposite her mentor, at the final portion of this superb hour-long piece.
