My Take

Joan Hackett is one of those actresses who should be talked about way more than she is. She came up through New York theater in the early 1960s, earned a Theatre World Award, and brought that stage-trained precision to everything she touched on screen. I love her in Support Your Local Sheriff! — she's genuinely funny and holds her own against James Garner without breaking a sweat — but it's her more serious work in Will Penny alongside Charlton Heston where you really see the depth she was capable of. There's a quiet intelligence behind every line reading, like she's always thinking two beats ahead of the scene. She was Oscar-nominated for Only When I Laugh in 1982, not long before she died at only 49 in 1983. A real loss — the kind of actress who makes every film she's in just a little bit better.
