The captivating cinematic journey of Comer began with her feature film debut as the female lead in the 1964 comedy Quick, Before It Melts, where she stole the spotlight with her captivating presence. This initial foray into the world of filmmaking was swiftly followed by her appearance in the 1965 satire The Loved One, where she essayed the memorable role of a seductive mortician, exuding an aura of mystique and allure. Her character's sassy repartee, particularly her offering to Robert Morse of a plethora of funeral arrangements options - "Inhumement, entombment, inurnment, immurement? Some people just lately have preferred ensarcophagusment" - left an indelible mark on the audience, cementing her status as a talented and memorable actress.
