Jessica Harper, my former boss, has tried a bit of everything. Painting, singing, dancing, acting, and writing. From Femme Fatale to Dixie homemaker, she’s come full circle as a woman and creative mind. I’m most proud of her for her earlier cult films. Her classic Italian horror film Suspiria (also known for it’s amazing score by Goblin), has a 94% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes but still obscure to many. Talks of a remake have been floating around since 2005.
Another one of her films is “Phantom of the Paradise”. It gets compared to “Rocky Horror Picture Show”, but predates it and is much less known.
Then after almost being typecast as a horror film actress, she did the Woody Allen love story Stardust Memories.
