I enjoyed "Moonstruck" and Cher, Olympia Dukakis and the rest of the cast were great.

My favorite of her roles was the principal in Mr. Holland's Opus.

She was the best. I'd watch her in anything. And I couldn't even begin to count how many times I've watched Moonstruck.

She had a good (hopefully), long life. She won't be forgotten.

I think I enjoyed her most in her last outing -- the 2019 version of "Tales Of The City".
