Actress Shirley Knight is gone at 83. A veteran of six decades of roles that garnered Oscar noms, a Tony Award, and Emmy Awards, she was a favorite of Tennessee Williams and worked steadily til recent years including a memorable role as Helen Hunt's mother in As Good As It Gets. For me, one of her best, haunting moments came in a seminal Outer Limits episode The Man Who Was Never Born with Martin Landau. At that time, she displayed acting abilities and beauty that propelled her to a long, distinguished career.
