They called this 40s singer-actress "the Blitzkrieg blond" for an energy that would make Rachael Ray seem logy by comparison. Film critic James Agee, and other scribes at TIME, described her variously as "rubber-jointed," "brass-lunged," "super-dynamic," "bouncing, bawling," "raucous, rampageous."

...highlight-reel, between-the-legs redirection to halve BC’s early two-goal lead. And Sifers, ever the leader, rushing to console Martin after the game-ending dribbler. There is only the sight of Julie Chu, with the dignity, amid the post-game ruckus, to find and hug one of her friends from her other team, fellow U.S. Olympian Katie King, a BC assistant coach.
