Karen Black

We were excited when Karen invited us to her home in LA for tea and a nice long chat about the art of acting, why she regrets starring in horror films, and her recent musical collaborations with Cass McCombs.

When Karen Black is on screen, it's impossible to look away. Regardless of whether you know her from her Oscar-nominated performance in Five Easy Pieces or her Chainsaw Award-winning role in House of 1000 Corpses (or any of her nearly 200 other films), you can tell that she is a force to be reckoned with. So we were excited when Karen invited us to her home in LA for tea and a nice long chat about the art of acting, why she regrets starring in horror films, and her recent musical collaborations with Cass McCombs. Plus, she does a great Raymond Pettibon impression.
