Tilda Swinton’s excellent movie “We Need to Talk About Kevin” brought up the infrequently mentioned subject of child psychopaths and reminded many people of the 1956 movie “The Bad Seed” which was extraordinary for it’s time. Patty McCormack made an indelible impression playing polite but demonic 10 year old Rhoda in “The Bad Seed.” She’s still around and was seen fondling semiprecious stones at Crystalarium on Melrose Avenue. Currently, Patty often guests on TV series like “NYPD Blue” or “Grey’s Anatomy” and starred as Pat Nixon in the Nixon/Frost movie in 2008.

She’s apparently a frequent visitor at Crystalarium because she knows her way around the West Hollywood store. One of Jada’s first stops after returning from her daughter Willow’s European tour with Justin Bieber was the crystal store. A fellow shopper reported that Jada “spent a lot of money” – she picked out a gemstone pendant, several crystals and minerals, and books about crystal healing. Some people believe that gemstones have therapeutic qualities. Maybe she needed a quick cure for jet lag.
