I think it should also be stated that Ruth Gordon was also an amazing writer early in her career being nominated for an Oscar for co-writing "Adam's Rib" starring Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn. She is one of the most talented actors I've seen, and the picture of her on the cover of "Harold & Maude" really does her no justice as that's the picture most people associate her with, unfortunately.
