Curiosidades

Co-founded the Los Angeles-based acting school The Faculty along with Tom Troupe, Dom DeLuise, John Erman and Charles Nelson Reilly.

Remained fairly obscure for much of her career until a choice comedy role in the film Minhas Duas Mulheres (1984) opened the door to a number of sardonic fun parts in film and TV.

Often used tastelessly because of her coarse features and larger-than-life size, she was at one time a foil for The Three Stooges (as Larry Fine's wife).

Developed a cult L.A. following in the early 1980s with the campy, small-scale musical "Women Behind Bars".

Daughter of Hal Price.

She was working in a secretarial job at Debbie Reynolds' rehearsal studios in North Hollywood when she was nabbed for the hilariously campy warden role in the cult stage hit "Women Behind Bars.".

Harsh and thickset New Yorker singer/comedienne first noticed in 1960s Broadway musicals; later in slapstick films.

Her older half-brother was Harry Franklin Price, Jr.

Her beloved infamous stage role as the Matron in the cult L.A. production of "Women Behind Bars" was a direct take-off on Hope Emerson's grotesque role in the acclaimed women's prison film À Margem da Vida (1950).
