Steve Miner’s 1999 horror film about a big ass crocodile in a Maine lake is an absurd cult classic you can’t help but love. As Mrs. Bickerman, White brings a strangeness to an already strange movie as she treats that aforementioned croc like another pet on her farm. (Is it safe to feed bread crumbs to baby crocodiles?) You could argue that this movie helped White endure as a piece of pop culture through the 21st century and to her passing. Whether that’s true or not is up to you, but one thing that is true is that her backtalking the cops is just great.
