Jessica Harper

I have to admit, I LOVE Jessica Harper. I don't think I am totally alone. I even, maybe especially, love her in "Shock Treatment" the under rated sequel to the "Rocky Horror Picture Show". A film I know is almost universally despised but was nevertheless way ahead of it's time predicting the celebrity/reality TV culture and has some truly awesome songs in it. How can you not love a actress who was in "Phantom of the paradise", Stardust Memories,", "Love and Death", "Pennies from Heaven" (another fantastic, almost lost film now it seems - she puts lipstick on her nipples) and , of course "Suspiria" It's really her voice that gets to me. Is it just me or do she and K.D. Lang share vocal cords?

The sets, costumes and make-up looks pretty darn impressive, I must say. I so hope Drew mastered the Beale accent.
