What an actress! There is something to be said about a secondary character who literally steals the show, Eileen is one of those people. She was so talented and subtle in her performances that you were always taken by surprise.moreless

By AprilFox, Oct 06, 2006

One of Eileen's finest moments is in the movie "Butterflies Are Free", with Edward Albert, Goldie Hawn and Paul Michael Glaser. The scene is Goldie telling that she isn't a prude because the role requires her to be nude. Eileen's reply sarcastically, "Of course not dear". Just steals the whole scene. Great talent!
