Marlene Warfield, Actress in 'Network' and 'The Great White Hope,' Dies at
83
.....
Marlene Warfield, the New York actress known for her feisty turns as the prostitute ex-girlfriend of James Earl Jones' boxer in The Great White
Hope on Broadway and the big screen and as a young revolutionary in
Network, has died. She was 83.
.....
In Paddy Chayefsky and Sidney Lumet's Network (1976), nominated for best picture, Warfield sparkled in a scene in which her Laureen Hobbs, an
Angela Davis type, meets with Faye Dunaway's Diana Christensen, a UBS executive who wants to do a weekly series revolving around the Ecumenical Liberation Army.

After Diana introduces herself as a "racist lackey of the imperialist
ruling circles," Hobbs introduces herself as "a bad-ass Commie nigger."
