Welcoming in 1952, who is this actress — the red-haired American screen presence who starts out in glossy studio fare, then turns into one of the great late-blooming scene-stealers? She goes toe-to-toe with Paul Newman in the pool-hall classic The Hustler, then scares a whole generation as Carrie’s terrifying mother. She later pops up in Twin Peaks with a face that says “trouble” before she’s even spoken. Who is she? 🎭
