Shelley Winters was one of my all time favorite actresses. I first saw her in "A Patch Of Blue" when I was a senior in high school. Being a young kid at the time, this kind of movie wasn't my typical choice, but my parents watched it, and we watched it with them. I was stunned by the realism of both the subject matter, and the actors' ability to carry it across.

Then I found out she did several westerns, and that really made me like her even more.

There's an one on one interview with Shelley about her art in which she answers questions like "What is talent?". It's not a long interview, but I found things there I've never seen anywhere else. It can be found at http://www.theatrgroup.com/She...

Thanks for this article.
