Sad to hear of her financial and health problems later in life. Her scene with Mitchum in CAPE FEAR was a definite scary edge-of-seater. RIP Miss Bergen.

I remember that scene well from seeing it on TV as a kid. It was my first encounter with the idea of "going crazy" and having a screaming breakdown in public.

She was a very intelligent woman and excellent actress, and also happened to be a (written) science fiction fan as well. She'll be missed.

Our own Dave Sindelar on Kisses For My President. It's been classified as social science fiction, but I consider that a bigger stretch than anything either Reed Richards or Plastic Man ever attempted.

Disagree. The notion of a female president of the United States is definitely social science fiction to me. Matter of fact, in '64, it's closer to fantasy.
