  TheatrGROUP's Actress Shelley Winters Interview

Insiders know that she always addresses the truth, regardless of how unpleasant it may sound, because Shelley knows that the business of the actor is much harsher than she will ever be, and to sugar-coat a critique of an actor's performance does more harm to the actor than good.

Winters was not oblivious to the fact that her characters were often monsters, neither she afraid to exaggerate those elements that made them monsterous, and there are very contemporary few actresses today willing to be so beastly and unattractive onscreen.
