Just days after losing Raquel Welch, another 70s icon has passed away. Stella Stevens, who starred in The Poseidon Adventure and several other of my favorite movies died today at age 84 from Alzheimer's disease. Born October 1, 1938 in Yazoo City, Mississippi, she made her acting debut in Say One for Me in 1959 for which she won a Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer - Female. In 1972, she appeared in The Poseidon Adventure, a classic disaster movie, and then in 1973, she starred in the horror-comedy Arnold. Just two years later, she played the bad guy Marcia in the pilot for the new Wonder Woman series starring Lynda Carter.
She appeared with Angela Lansbury in Funeral at Fifty-Mile, an episode of Murder, She Wrote.
I don't know why I love this fight scene between Marcia (Stella) and Wonder Woman (Lynda).
