Feature Films

Based on Jeffrey Konvitz' best-selling novel, MCA's The Sentinel (1977) focuses on Alison Parker, played by Cristina Raines. When Alison rents an apartment in a gloomy New York brownstone, little does she realize the unspeakable horrors that awate her behind its mysterious doors. Alison likes her eccentric new neighbors, so it comes as a shock when she's told that, except for a strange old priest, she's the only tenant.

Nana is seen at the very end of the film, where she plays a woman who is looking for an apartment with her husband--and winds up renting the same apartment that Alison did.
