Kathy Lamkin has died at the age of 74. In films like “No Country for Old Men” she often stole the show from the stars in mini appearances.
Kathy Lamkin is dead. The American actress died on April 4 after a short illness. She was 74 years old. That’s what her family gave opposite “Deadline” famous. “Kathy will be missed by her family and friends,” it says, among other things. “She left a lasting impression on everyone she met in her life on this earth.”
She stole the show from Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men
Lamkin made a lasting impression in a small but fine scene in “No Country for Old Men”. In the Coen brothers’ thriller, as the manager of a trailer park, she let the mysterious killer Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem, 53) run mercilessly. He wants to know from her where Moss (Josh Brolin, 54), whom he is chasing, works. But no information can be elicited from her.
Born on December 10, 1947 in Texas, she only began her film career in 1990. However, she has been doing theater since her time at Texas Woman University. Later she led her own theater group and taught acting classes.
Short but striking appearances were her specialty, whether in the films “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” and “Sunshine Cleaning” or series like “Nip/Tuck” or “Malcolm in the Middle”. In the horror remake “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” (2003) and in the sequel from 2006 she played a role as the sinister “Tea Lady”, as she is only called in the credits.
Kathy Lamkin leaves behind a husband and two children.
