I adore Lee Grant. And this inteview showed me why. One of the best AS interviews. So honest and passionate and intelligent

[@monty3534]

I love Lee Grant in 1970 The Landlord, 1975 Shampoo and 1978 Damien Omen 2.
A very great and talented actress.

[@MrRJMGREEN]

I liked Damien, The Spell, In The Heat of the Night, Airport '77, and The Landlord.

[@sclogse1]

I just watch Lee in The Landlord, (now on youtube with no strings attached) two days ago, and she's amazing. So is the film. A fascinating cast of pros.

Mad respect for Lee Grant!

[@veritas6335]

So sorry that Plaza Suite wasn't discussed. She was hilarious in that film and absolutely perfect.

[@michaeljj43]

thank. you so much for posting this video...one of my favorite episodes of Inside the Actor's Studio

[@StanSwan]

She is one of the most beautiful women in the world. I first saw her on the TV show Columbo. She shot her husband on Columbo and I was still jealous of him.

@@pissoff234 Most people look like crap in their 50s and never make it to 90+ years old.

[@LocoCanada]

Stanswan I was going to write that almost word for word about Columbo. She is beautiful and very sexy. And a great actress.

[@StanSwan]

@@LocoCanada I am distracted at how hot she is watching the episode.

[@richardbullis156]

Let's not forget In the Heat of the Night.
