She was great! Outstanding career, and enjoyed the video tribute.

I missed the SAG Awards (I hate award shows), but I saw an interview with her a few months back (she has an autobiography that came out in 2013, I think). Great interview. Very cool lady.

In addition to West Side Story, she was in another movie I liked a lot called The Four Seasons with Alan Alda, Carol Burnett, Sandy Dennis, and Jack Weston. Some classic lines in that movie. In one scene, Alan Alda's character tells Jack Weston's character that he was "the Muhammad Ali of mental illness." Hysterical also when Jack Weston's character drives his new Mercedes out on a frozen lake and the ice cracks under it and it sinks into the lake.

I've seen every movie ever made but i don't remember that one..i'll add to my netflix que..but Sandy Dennis reminds me of our all time fav movie,
The Out of Towners -1970..Took my little kiddies to the drive-in (remember those?) and they still remember me cackling the whole movie..'I'll vouch for that' Sandy would say after Jack Lemon would explain something..
