Margaret Whitton, the actress, director and producer who is probably best know for playing the money-grubbing owner of the Cleveland Indians in two Major League movies, has died after a battle with cancer. She was 67.

Her film credits include The Secret Of My Success, 9 1/2 Weeks and Mel Gibson’s Man Without A Face. She began her career on the stage, with credits there including The Public Theater’s production of Dirty Tricks, starring Judith Ivey as Martha Mitchell. She made her directorial debut with 2011’s A Bird On The Air, a Robert Towne adaptation of Joe Coomer’s novel.

I quote her a lot from the first Major League film:

"Cross him off then."

"I hate this fricking song."

Major League and Secret of my Success are two of my favorite movies from my youth, I've watched them each countless times, and it was not until this thread that I realized she was the same chick in both.
