Olivia Hussey 1951-2024

 IT TRULY IS A BLACK CHRISTMAS NOW. 


I'm gutted to hear about the death of Olivia Hussey.  I've always loved her film and television performances in everything from ROMEO AND JULIET, DEATH ON THE NILE and THE MAN WITH BOGART'S FACE to horror gems like STEPHEN KING'S IT, ICE CREAM MAN, PSYCHO IV and TURKEY SHOOT.  But of course, above all else, is her starring role in the best Christmas movie ever made:  BLACK CHRISTMAS!  Rest in peace.

And since we were talking about Black Christmas a few days ago; did we have a hand in killing her?

It's worse than that. The day before yesterday the new guy at work asked what my favorite Christmas movie was and I said BLACK CHRISTMAS!

OK, so that's a relief to know. So you killed her. I had nothing to do with it.

And DAT would be a BIG 10-4, good buddy!

Sad indeed. Watched earlier this month but couldn’t bring myself to watch again after she died. Will be a more somber viewing next year.

Yes, I still can't believe it. I usually rewatch BLACK CHRISTMAS every year but for some reason I never did this year . . . maybe by next December I'll be OK to watch it again.
