    Actors should study Barbara Hershey here

    Hershey is doing some truly amazing/insane acting. I mean... just watch. I can't think of too many actors that COULD or even would be wiling to ATTEMPT to pull what she's doing off. They would feel too silly.

    Again... just watch if you can get your hands on a copy of this. It's very difficult to find.
