Longtime actress Eileen Brennan died yesterday at age 80. Though perhaps best known to modern audiences as Mrs. Peacock from the 1985 movie Clue, Brennan had a rich career on stage and screen. She got her biggest early break in Peter Bogdanovich's The Last Picture Show, followed closely by a supporting role in the Best Picture-winning The Sting.
If you enjoyed Brennan in Clue, consider seeing her other notable film roles. We're even lucky enough to have two streaming videos of her stage performances!
