She played the stewardess who was Charlton Heston's main squeeze in "Airport 75." I found close-ups of her face to be incredibly disconcerting because she had a lazy eye (wall-eyed). (Or maybe it was cross-eyed)

She was slightly cross-eyed. I think that was part of her charm, as it made her seem real instead of a Hollywood creation.

If you want to see her at her best, watch Trilogy Of Terror.
RIP Karen Black.  =(
