Other film appearances include Bedtime Story, Tickle Me, Cannon for Cordoba, and science fiction cult films such as Curse of the Swamp Creature, Mutiny in Outer Space, and Space Probe Taurus. She portrayed Marilyn Monroe in Marilyn: Alive and Behind Bars, and in 2000, she played Nicholas Cage's mother-in-law in The Family Man..
