What was the movie where she played the French cafe chanteuse who exhorted her audience to sing the "lyrics" to La Vie En Rose as she cued each line for them -- except all she sang was was "laaah....la la la la la laaah....la la la la la laaah...", which they would then repeat. The Cheap Detective?

I also liked her in Private Benjamin. RIP.

The Cheap Detective! That was a good one, but then you'd have to search pretty hard to find a bad Peter Falk film. Betty DeBoop, LOL. Throw in Murder By Death and Clue for an evening of silly fun, she had a knack for those.

There's something called Comic Book Villains listed on her credits page, direct to video, gonna have to try and check it out sometime.

The Sting and Private Benjamin -- what a career.
