My husband scarcely knew who she was. I tried to think of something he'd know her from. THIS is the movie that rang a bell (I explained she played the wife of the actor that was the consigliere from Godfather. Oh Robert DeNiro, he said. *smh* He was close, it was Robert and started with a "D". *shrug*)
The movie is Something to Talk About. I never thought it was a great movie; but it's got some Southern charm to it, horses, and a really cute kid actor ... and a really crusty, insufferable Robert Duval. This is her first scene I thought of.
My husband would have no idea either. Even I hadn't realized the Godfather reference.
I have a feeling your eulogy won't gain much traction on a football forum but if our dude members took a look at photos of her in her youth they may have an epiphany.
