Keach also starred with Tyrrell in the 1976 film "The Killer Inside Me" in which she played a prostitute who became the victim of Keach's psychopathic sheriff. She was like the Billie Holiday of the dispossessed." "I loved her whiskey voice she had this voice that just reeked of soul and sweetness. "I adored her," Keach told The Times on Tuesday. In his review, The Times' Charles Champlin wrote that Tyrrell's "whining, self-dramatizing barfly" - who takes up with Keach's small-time boxer after her own man goes to jail - "gives an enormous vitality to the movie."Ĭritics "hailed her as one of the best screen drunks they'd ever seen," Roderick Mann later wrote in The Times. The actress, whose many film credits included "Islands in the Stream" (1977), "Angel" (1984) and "Cry-Baby" (1990), already had played a number of colorful character roles on stage in New York before being cast in "Fat City," a boxing drama starring Stacy Keach and Jeff Bridges. Tyrrell died Saturday at her home in Austin, Texas, according to the Travis County medical examiner.
