Actress

The Resume

    (October 3, 1953- )
    Best known for her role as the Lady in the Radiator in 'Eraserhead (1977)'

Why she might be annoying:

    She got her job because her sister was friends with an assistant to David Lynch.
    Her appearance in 'Eraserhead' gave many people nightmares.
    Nobody is really sure why her character is even in 'Eraserhead.'
    She disappeared from movies after 'Eraserhead (1977).'

Why she might not be annoying:

    She had to go through hours of make-up.
    The Pixies covered the song she sings in 'Eraserhead.'
    Supposedly, the make-up David Lynch used burned her skin when it was applied and was extremely painful.
    Nevertheless, she managed to look friendly and upbeat while she was on screen.
    She agreed to work for only $20 a week (meals not included) on the movie.
    She proved she could sing and dance.
    She sang in a trio with her two sisters.
    Her only film role is very memorable.
