Marilyn Monroe as “the greatest comedienne in the history of the screen.”
Probably over the top but she WAS pretty funny in “Some Like it Hot”.
“We must have pie. Stress cannot exist in the presence of pie.” David Mamet
Brilliant
He didn't like it.
She was SUCH a stupid jerk, coming home she said: “You don't know how it feels with thousands and thousands of people standing and cheering your name!”
He said: “But, I DO”
Just saw her in “All About Eve.” She of the “Copacabana School of Acting.” She is, indeed, very funny. The funniest? I don’t know about that but she was a luminous screen presence. Mamet has always had some weird ideas on the art of acting. He’s written a book about that, too. (Mostly to get young actors to say the lines of his plays accurately, lol!)
