when he passed he was 77 so he didn't make it to 80 like Maude, although in real life Ruth Gordon was 75 when she made this movie. And Vivian Pickles, who played Harold's mum. is still going strong at age 94

edited to add that Cat (Yusuf now), born the same year as Bud (and with Harold in one of those funeral scenes) is still entertaining!

It was on their album Coast to Coast that I got when I was 12. I saw their movie (still one of my favorites) when it came out the following year.

Ellen Burstyn started acting in TV and movies in 1958 as Ellen McRae, and changed to Burstyn in 1970. I watch a lot of old tv shows on various retro channels and spotted her in a show, and looked up the episode to see who she was, found her as Ellen McRae, then discovered the switch.

this being "an odd one". It's certainly is no odder than many of the other entries in this contest.

Quentin Tarantino has a thing about eclectic music, and boy howdy, he picked a great one for the opening of Reservoir Dogs.

Oh, speaking of opening scenes, it was brilliant using Sea Lion Woman for a haunting mood setting opening for The General’s Daughter.
