Talk:Collin Wilcox (actress)

Untitled

One of the eeriest performances she gave was in the "Afred Hitchcock Hour"'s episode called "The Jar". I haven't seen that episode since I was seven years old, but still remember it. such an unsual name for a woman, though. --67.86.98.26 (talk) 05:38, 20 December 2011 (UTC)Veryverser She guest starred in a sixth season episode of The Virginian TV series, the episode "Barren Ground" which is not listed here. I think it should be. Dale. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.74.237.248 (talk) 08:19, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Yes, Miss Wilcox pulled out all the stops in The Jar. She played a wild one, did so wildly, seemingly without restraint. It was out of character for her, though she was a daring and emotional actress and in this she was always professional. Her Twilight Zone, Number 12 Looks Just Like You, is a case of her being heartfelt and sincere, a haunting performance in an unsettling prescient episode.

Collin Wilcox also played a role in the 1985 movie, "Marie: A True Story". (this role is not listed on Collin Wilcox's Wikipedia filmography list) Collin played Marie's mother and caregiver to Marie's 3 children. In this role, she was wheelchair bound. This movie stars Sissy Spacek, but also stars a young Jeff Daniels, a smaller role for a young Morgan Freeman, and was the first film for Fred Thompson, who played himself. This is based on true events. Peter Maas wrote the book of the same name. Collin Wilcox's name is in ending credits; her character's name is different than Marie's, so its not easy to find. I own this movie on DVD, and its part of WB's Archive Collection.

Mayella Ewell

Is it fair of the article to say that Mayella was a racist? Examination of the character makes one consider that, rather than independent in thought, she was largely under the influence of her father, who was not only a racist but also somewhat of a social outcast. Her actions were prompted by her father's bigotry; she herself was rather innocent when it came to her place in the world according to race. We could get into a bit debate about the immoral actions of what the character did, but I believe that she was more complicit out of fear of her father's retribution than an outright racist. For that reason, I believe that we should consider changing this descriptor of her as a racist to something more fitting and less partial. Ideas? Twistedpiper (talk) 05:34, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
