Sue Lyon, who as a teenager won a Golden Globe for her performance in Stanley Kubrick's controversial 'Lolita,' died Thursday in Los Angeles.
Sue Lyon, the actress who was forever tied to her teenage portrayal of the title role in 1962’s “Lolita,” died Thursday in Los Angeles. The news was first reported by the New York Times, and no cause of death was immediately given. She was 73.
“From the first, she was interesting to watch,” Kubrick was quoted as saying of Lyon in Look magazine. “Even in the way she walked in for her interview, casually sat down, walked out. She was cool and non-giggly. She was enigmatic without being dull. She could keep people guessing about how much Lolita knew about life.”
Lyon would go on to appear in John Huston’s 1964 adaptation of Tennessee Williams’s “The Night of the Iguana” and John Ford’s 1966 drama “7 Women.” She continued to act steadily throughout the 1960s and 1970s in both film and television. Her last screen credit was in 1980’s “Alligator.”
