I was sorry to just discover that actress Jill Haworth died on January 3. She should have had a much better career than she did.

Besides her role in the film Exodus, probably the best-known things she's remembered for are appearing opposite David McCallum in an episode of The Outer Limits titled "The Sixth Finger" and creating the role of Sally Bowles on Broadway in the original 1966 production of Cabaret. As the story goes, she stayed with the show over two years to spite a well-known critic who had given her a bad review!

Then, of course, there was that (in)famous "feminine deodorant spray" TV commercial she did many years ago. It might have been the first of its kind. Feminique (?) I think it was??

Anyway, I was quite saddened to read that the died in her sleep in her Manhattan apartment. R.I.P.
