| In Praise of Older Women (1978) | Susan Strasberg (holder), Karen Black, Helen Shaver, Alberta Watson, Alexandra Stewart "three or four scenes of [Black] smoking cigarettes. Nothing particularly noteworthy in the smoking except maybe for context in one scene: she's a married woman and, in front of company, she seductively asks for a light from the teenage boy... Shaver has exactly one drag-exhale in the movie but it's a beauty: a side-on close up of smoke coming out of nose and mouth simultaneously ... [Strasberg] smokes in almost every scene she's in, always with a holder" "All five actresses smoke and are nude in this picture"
