Marianna Hill

I have a real fondness for character actors like Marianna Hill, performers who never grabbed top billing yet quietly held up an entire era of film and television. She moved easily from Westerns like High Plains Drifter to the cult oddity Messiah of Evil, and slipped into The Godfather Part II as Fredo's wife. That range, plus the ability to register on screen opposite someone like Eastwood, signals a real craftsman. Awards never chased her, but she lingers in the memory, which I value more. Born Schwarzkopf, she's exactly the kind of working actor I think deserves to be remembered.
