She's got the whole Monty Python improv background but also this Shakespeare thing - the pictures of her in the role are extraordinary.Sheila O'Malleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859697259996394827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-4365201508572876212008-12-10T16:42:00.000-05:002008-12-10T16:42:00.000-05:00She is wicked in Gosford Park - I'd forgotten abou...She is wicked in Gosford Park - I'd forgotten about that!Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511240514127283024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-2133531200927838792008-12-10T16:37:00.000-05:002008-12-10T16:37:00.000-05:00And her in Gosford Park!!

Bob Balaban going on and on at the dinner table about his movie and he says, "Oh, but I don't want to spoil the ending for you ..." and she says, "Don't worry, none of us will ever see it." Like, she is SO RUDE but she says it with total guileless honesty ... HILARIOUS!!Sheila O'Malleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859697259996394827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-77181068592811685912008-12-10T16:32:00.000-05:002008-12-10T16:32:00.000-05:00I love seeing Emma T in screwy comic roles, she is...I love seeing Emma T in screwy comic roles, she is soooo funny, and here a wonderful clown to Maggie Smith's straight man. And Smith must know how funny she is when she is NOT funny. Like her character in A Room with A view. It makes me howl with laughter.Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511240514127283024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-47592726422760392322008-12-10T16:03:00.000-05:002008-12-10T16:03:00.000-05:00Beautiful!That picture of Maggie Smith and Emma Th...Beautiful!<BR/><BR/>That picture of Maggie Smith and Emma Thompson is so funny I am laughing and crying.
