    No, I'm talking about late 60's, early 70's. Old Style, if it was even brewed back then, hadn't made it to nola. I think it was exclusively Jax in Tulane, though they may have had Dixie as well.

    Old Style was Pabst Blue Ribbon's low-priced brand. It was mostly a Yankee beer in cans and bottles but it was available widely in kegs wherever PBR was available.

    When I was 6 years old, I saw a TV movie she was in called 'Trilogy of Terror'. One of the stories was about this little African tiki doll (complete with a spear, knife, and razor sharp teeth) that came to life when his necklace accidentally fell off. She ended up killing the doll, but it's spirit possessed her. The ending showed her on the phone with her mother, telling her to come on over to her house. Then, it showed her with the most evil look I'd ever seen, pounding a knife repeatedly on the counter as she waited for her mother to arrive. Kind of a silly premise now obviously, but that movie scared the absolute shit out of me when I first saw it. To this day, I still remember that fear. I know she's most famous for 'Easy Rider', but that movie is what I remember most about Karen Black.

    She worked right up until the end. imdb.com says she already has a movie out this year, called "Ooga Booga", that sound similar to the TV movie @fanatic described. She also completed a movie called "She Loves Me Not" that hasn't been released, and had a 3rd movie in post-production called "The Being Experience." She was pretty hot for her day back in the 70's. Before she started hitting movie roles, she did an episode of "Adam 12", and she was just cranking out the sex appeal. Here it is, if you're interested; she doesn't appear until the last 5 minutes or so:

    Yep, that's the one. How old were you when you saw it?
