The pencil-thin, quirky actress is of course best known for her memorable 
film roles (many of them for director Robert Altman), but she also made a 
notable contribution to early cable television with "Faerie Tale Theatre," 
the series she created, produced and hosted for Showtime that presented 
familiar and unfamiliar fairy tales in sumptuous productions and more 
celebrity guest stars than you'd expect from a cable TV series--it won a 
Peabody and TCA award and would've won Emmys if cable was eligible back 
then--died of complication from diabetes at her Texas home:

"Faerie Tale Theatre" has not aired on U.S. television since the Disney 
Channel repeated it in the mid-90s--one would think that there would be a 
home on streaming for this series.
