They only acted in one movie, but what an impact they made...
Who are some of your favorites?
For me...
Monty Montgomery - Cowboy (Mulholland Drive)
Okay, I had to be a little lenient here, since he also appeared in the TV movie version of Mulholland Drive. But Monty had to make the list, or I would have scrapped the entire thread. His unsettlingly calm way of speaking, the mysterious look in his eyes and acting as the strange philosophical messenger makes him one of the most memorable parts of the movie.
Eiko Ando - Okichi (The Barbarian And The Geisha)
In a movie most known for John Wayne playing someone very different from his usual macho roles, Eiko Ando gives a nice, tender performance as Okichi, who at first Townsend Harris uses to more easily bring peace between America and Japan, but who he later also falls in love with. I couldn't believe when I found out she never acted in anything again, and there's only a minimal amount of info about what she's done since (plus no interviews or recent photos). The Barbarian And The Geisha is an underrated and respectful depiction of the division of America and Japan during the 1800's, Ando being one of the reasons why it's so good.
Lisa & Louise Burns - The Grady Twins
Billie Gibson - Old Woman In Bath (The Shining)
How can you forget about two of the scariest things from The Shining? That chant in the hallway is still haunting even after endless parodies, and the reveal of the luscious young woman turning out to be a grotesque-looking hag is the most frightening moment in the whole picture.
