More on Shirley Stoler
Description from Wikipedia:
Shirley Stoler (March 30, 1929 – February 17, 1999) was an American actress best known for her roles in The Honeymoon Killers and Lina Wertmuller's Seven Beauties.
Throughout her career, Shirley Stoler was large and often played villainesses (such as in The Honeymoon Killers and on TV in an episode of Charlie's Angels) whose scariness often derived from Stoler's physical strength and size. A character actress as well as an occasional lead, Stoler appeared in small roles in classic films including Klute, The Deer Hunter, and Desperately Seeking Susan.
The highlight of her film career arguably was her turn as the repulsive Nazi female prison commandant in Lina Wertmüller's masterpiece Pasqualino Settebellezze (1975) (Seven Beauties), in which she plays a cat and mouse game of seduction with the concentration camp inmate played by Giancarlo Giannini. Giannini's inmate was very much the mouse, and Stoler's commandant was very much the cat if not the lioness, holding her prisoner/lover's life in her hands/paws. Though a profile of Stoler was featured on the front page of the New York Times Arts section, her performance — one of the most harrowing and fascinating portraits of evil ever filmed — was ignored during the awards season, likely as her dialogue had to be dubbed into Italian. The film, the success of which depended a great deal on her, was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Foreign Language Film of 1976, and garnered Wertmüller nominations as Best Director (a first for a woman) and Best Original Screenplay, and Stoller's co-star Giannini a nod as Best Actor.
