Marilyn Strauss

Marilyn Strauss was an essayist for a New York culture magazine. In her last essay, on the use of gun violence in films such as Murder at the Blue Eclipse, she described a scene where the ticket collector (Stan) went around the movie theater lobby, shaking the customers and begging to be let out. She ended up stabbing out her eyes after viewing the film and bled to death on her kitchen floor.

She appears in “Murder at the Blue Eclipse.”
