Anne Savage, the 1940s pulp fiction film femme fatale, died in her sleep at a nursing home on Christmas Day from complications following a series of strokes according to the AP.
Best known for her work in the 1945 B-movie “Detour,” Savage recently played Guy Maddin’s mother in the fantastical docu-drama, “My Winnipeg.” We won’t pretend that we’re in any way experts of her work, but her melodramatic turn in Madden’s deliriously dreamy pseudo-doc was great and the film was one of our favorites of 2008.
Savage was 87.
