It's already getting hard to keep up with 2023 - Jeff Beck, Robbie Knievel, David Crosby....now Cindy Williams passing? I suppose it's a good time (and with this movie, when is it not?) to bring up Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation in which Williams had a very different role. Not exactly the prudish "Laurie" from American Graffiti trying to get to college but now all grown up and in the center of a murder conspiracy. Here we see the dark side in her passively haunting turn as Ann, a character whose name is never mentioned.
She's never really present in the story either as we mostly see her every time Harry Caul listens to "the conversation" and then only in the murder sequences which are flashes and it's left up to the viewer to decide if they even really took place or are just in Harry's paranoid mind. She does actually encounter Harry in an elevator ride but nothing is said only for her to reappear later in one of Harry's nightmares.
The Conversation currently streams on Paramount +, Direct TV, Pluto and all VOD.
The Conversation 5 stars/5
