Sad to hear that Melinda Dillon has died. She was 83.

She was brilliant in everything she starred in but my personal favourite were her roles in Close Encounters of The Third Kind and Harry & The Hendersons.

She had two Oscar nominations for her performances in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Absence of Malice.
