I wonder if Martin Short based Ed Grimley on Peggy Cass’ Miss Gooch.
The walk, the vocal inflections, the facial expressions.

I do know that Judy Garland expressed a deep interest in playing in the musical Mame in the late 1960s, but of course her physical & mental health prevented that from ever happening. She loved the songs & was in attendance on Lansbury’s 1st night in 1967.

In light of the news that unparalleled documentarian Frederick Wiseman has died, I’m revisiting @joeengleman.bsky.social’s 2025 @chicagoreader.com cover story on Wiseman hooked to the Siskel Center’s retrospective.
Frederick Wiseman’s portals of possibility - Chicago Reader
The Gene Siskel Film Center’s Worlds of Wiseman series shows us our world. The question is whether or not we can change it.

It’s too much!
Man, this day. Well, 95 and 96 are fine ages, and Wiseman's legacy is beyond secure. I sincerely hope that whoever is entrusted with his legacy of more than three dozen masterful documentaries makes them easier to stream, to own, and to share. We'll be learning from his work as long as movies exist.
RIP Frederick Wiseman <3 <3

And he was the best to ever do it; a thief, who stole many a film right from under the nose of the lead...
“Somebody once said that the best life in the world is the life of a second leading man,” Mr. Duvall told The Times. “You travel, you get a per diem, and you’ve probably got a better part anyway.”

I remember seeing Robert Duvall on so many TV shows in the late 50s/early 60s.
I especially remember an Alfred Hitchcock episode called “Bad Actor” that really made an impression on my kid brain when it aired in 1962.
I’ve searched for it, but this is all I can find.

Never a big fan of his… but being the lazy bum that I am, I love this quote so much I’m reshaping my opinion.
