RIP Zelda Rubinstein
Actress Zelda Rubinstein, 76, has sadly passed away. She was best known for her role in Poltergeist where she played psychic Tangina Barrons.
The film received 3 Academy Award nominations, and was recently voted the 20th most scary film of all time.
Rubinstein, who famously came in at only 4 foot 3 inches tall, was widely applauded for her portrayal of the psychic. Director Stephen Spielberg said of Zelda, ’I thought it would be neat to show that someone's size had nothing to do with her psychic powers. Good things can come in small packages, and that's certainly true of Zelda.’
