You want to punch Helen Hayes at that?!!!

I sure as hell want to slap her in "Herbie" and punch here in "Airport". The scene where she gets slapped by Jacqueline Bisset made me cheer loudly! and disappointed that she didn't get more





BLAZING SADDLES, one movie I don't have on DVD or Blu-ray.



You brute, you brute, you brute!!!!!!!!!

Seriously?
Brother Sol, don't you waste one second of your time feeling sorry for her.
She was a cantankerous old biddy who would not hesitate to murder you and rape your dog (or is it the other way around?).
Why, just a few scenes later she calls Sheriff Bart a "n*gg*r".
(Of course, she DID bake him a pie the next day--so maybe she's not quite irredeemable just yet. Oh, wait. She then added that she hoped Sheriff Bart would never mention to anyone that she'd been there. Hmm, I guess she IS horrible after all. It's confusing.)

The beating occurred in the beginning of the film though so we didn't know her behaviour then therefore at that moment it was "such cruelty". Besides, she wasn't worse than all the other villagers and most likely changed her mind at the end, that is if she had survived through it all.

Possibly worse though than the beating of that old woman and KO-ing the horse, might be the horrible current pussy footing around what we all know was said by using "n*gg*r".
I wonder what it could mean: "no gear", "noogahr", what, what could it be?
Honestly, knock it off "you sissy maries"!

Thank you for that comprehensive forensic analysis of my joke.
I was, frankly, terrified that no one would get it.
Whew!

By the way, Judith Lowry lived in Larchmont and used to come into my dad's tv sales & service store nearly every morning. She'd take her newly-procured copy of the Daily Times, open it up on the counter and proclaim "Now, let's see who died!"

Made me laugh!

I loved Judith Lowry.

Thank you, Ray -- and thank you, Judith! That was worth the whole thread. (In which case, thank you David!)

Now that Photobucket has allowed the third-party thing again, let's look again at these pictures of these nice ladies.....

After seeing how goosed up Jane Fonda and Rita Moreno look past age 80, having had surgery a-plenty, I have to wonder:

Are there any little old ladies these days who actually LOOK LIKE little old ladies?

Maybe Cloris Leachman?

Found a book with lots of them:

https://mcfarlandbooks.com/product/actresses-of-a-certain-character/

The text I found annoying, with the author insisting on inserting so much of his personality into it, and adding criticism of various films (why does everyone think being a critic-at-length is valuable???).

But it's nice to see these actresses getting some attention.
