In 1992, she had a guest appearance in the third season of The Simpsons as Lurleen
3. Hair (Musical) -- Claude Bukowski
   Brimming with the energy, passion and music that rocked a nation, Hair is an entertaining and powerful tribute to the turbulent spirit of the '60s. Brilliantly recreated by OscarÂ(r)-winning* director Milos Forman and screenwriter Michael Weller (Ragtime), this vibrant screen version of the Broadway phenomenon ranks "among the best film musicals" (The Hollywood Reporter)! Fresh from the farm, Claude Bukowski (John Savage, The Thin Red Line) arrives in New York City for a date with the Army Induction Board, only to walk into a hippie "happening" inCentral Park and fall in love with the beautiful Shelia (Beverly D'Angelo, American History X). Befriended by the hippies' pacifist leader, Berger (Treat Williams, Mulholland Falls), and urged to crash a formal party in order to declare his love for Shelia, Claude begins an adventure that lands him in jail, Central Park Lake and, finally, in the army. But Berger's final effort to save Claude from Vietnam sets in motion a bizarre twist of fate with shocking consequences. *1975: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; 1984: Amadeus
4. Hair (Musical) -- Cases
   A Mexican production of Hair opened in 1968 for one performance. The show was shut down by the government, and the cast members were forced to leave Mexico to avoid arrest.[12] A German production opened in 1968 in Berlin; the tribe included Donna Summer and Liz Mitchell (Boney M).
5. Annie Hall (1977)
   Annie Hall includes an amazingly strong supporting cast. None of them are terribly remarkable here - though they're all good - but it's an impressive roster. AH features Carole Kane, Shelley Duvall, Christopher Walken, Jeff Goldblum, John Glover, Shelley Hack, Beverly D'Angelo, and - in a shot from so far away that the only way you'll know it's her is from the credits - Sigourney Weaver. Wow! Considering all of these folks were at best semi-unknowns at the time, that's pretty amazing.

8. Chevy Chase -- National Lampoon's Vacation
   Chase narrowly escaped death by electrocution during the filming of Modern Problems in 1980. During a sequence in which Chase's character wears 'landing lights' as he dreams that he is an airplane, the current in the lights short-circuited and arced through Chase's arm, back, and neck muscles. The near-death episode caused Chase to experience a period of deep depression, as his marriage to Jacqueline had ended just prior to the start of filming. Chase continued his film career in 1983's National Lampoon's Vacation, directed by Ramis and written by John Hughes. He married Jayni Luke in 1983, and in 1985, he starred in Fletch, the first of two films based on Gregory Mcdonald's Fletch books.

9. Natalie -- Years
   Natalie's husband Mitch was a Navy fighter pilot who was killed in Kosovo in 1998. They have a daughter named Julie, who is now 16 (she was 12 when first introduced). Julie has been raised to believe that her father died heroically, but in fact the details of his death are very murky, and he may have been trying to desert when he was killed.[7] Before he died Mitch gave Julie a pet fish named "Mr. Henry," which Natalie has been secretly replacing each year so Julie doesn't realize that the original fish died[8].
10. Patsy Cline -- Loretta Lynn
    Country singer Patsy Cline's career was in full swing, with pop Top 40 hits and national concert tours, when she was killed in a plane crash at the age of 30. Her honeyed soprano has been emulated not only by country singers like Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton but ... by pop singers like Linda Ronstadt.
