The most brillant star I have seen wasted. That's how I will sum up Shani Wallis's career. She is an amazing actress, singer, performer, person I have ever seen on screen, and she seemed to be ignored admist hollywood's glamour. If you see her in the 1968 musical film Oliver! when she was Nancy, I have seen hardly a better performance. Playing an abused young girl who was in love with the very man that abused, and later killed her, she was amazing and brought emotion to the screen. Why she was not recognized more, I don't know. But she is one of the all time greats, no doubt about it.
