Billie Whitelaw as Mrs. Baylock in The Omen

Whitelaw has a huge body of work, on both stage and screen.  If there is any question as to her credibility as an actor, there are three humans she worked with that say it all: Samuel Beckett, Jim Henson and Alfred Hitchcock.

For those of us that are champions of Horror films, she will forever be remembered for her chilling performance as Mrs. Baylock in Richard Donner’s excellent piece, The Omen.

I do believe I will set aside some time later and watch her get cozy with pure evil!

It is recommended that you folks do the same!
