She was in a bizarre episode of The Outer Limits called Don’t Open Til Doomsday. I swear that Davis & Crawford got their Grande Dame Guignol look from Miriam!!!!

Jo, does this mean you’re volunteering your mad blogging skills for this episode in the blogathon? (Hint hint)

Well I suppose it does sort of lend my kind of wily ways to the celebration! She was great as Aunt Lily Mortar in The Children’s Hour… but I’m sure someone’s gonna snatch that up before I finish answering this
and then there’s Savage Intruder a rare 70’s grande dame guignol psycho-flick…
But her character in Don’t Open Til Doomsday is just grotesque and offbeat enough to temp me to chime in!!!
Okay, consider me in!!!!

So cool to see a blogathon in Hopkins’s honor! She’s pretty underrated, all things considered, and just the right gal to pep up January. I recently saw Hopkins in “The Story of Temple Drake” and her performance just floored me! I’d love to write about that please.
