Oscar Nominee Sondra Locke Dies at 74 ...and was from TN

[Ronald_55]

I had no idea she was from TN. Always interesting to find stuff like this out.

"Locke was born in 1944 as Sandra Louise Smith and raised in Shelbyville, Tenn. "

"She worked with Clint Eastwood in “The Outlaw Josey Wales” in 1976, followed by “The Gauntlet,” “Every Which Way But Loose,” “Any Which Way You Can,” “Bronco Billy” and “Sudden Impact"."

Sadly, I did not recall her name but instantly knew her face.  R.I.P.

Hands down worst actress I am aware of.

Still, her passing is sad, and battling cancer is a rough way to go. RIP

Tend to agree. If she hadn't been Clint's squeeze for years, doubt if she'd gone anywhere in movies.

You do realize that she was nominated for an Academy Award from her very first movie?

Yeah, I do. Just like one hit wonders in music, in acting there are star struck fluke meetings of perfect role that somehow fits a limited ability. And don't get me started about the Oscars in general.

I think it was more about the script and context of the movie myself. She hooked up with a star and ran with what she got rather than do it on her own. Many folks take the easy money over the hard.

Not even close.  Shelley Duvall wins that award.
