| But think how amazing it will be. If it's good then we all get to see a legend live. If it's bad then we all get to see a legend flame out, live. | |

| This assumes there is a first paid public performance. In keeping with legend, there may not be. But yes. |

| What do you base your comment on, Sunset Boulevard? But Dunaway was fired from that by AL Webber and got a financial settlement. She did not walk off. And she does not have a history of walking off projects. She does have a history of winning awards, including an Oscar, for such films as Network, Bonnie and Clyde, Chinatown and Barfly. She also has a history of doing fine stage work, including Master Class, Circe and Bravo in London (saw those so I can vouch for them) and her debut in Hogan's Goat. She won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her TV work. So where's the "legend" of her not showing up for "the first paid public performance?" Or is it really just a bit of overheated, misogynistic snark compounded out of too many viewings of Mommy Dearest and some personal distaste you might have for the way this great, yep, I'd say she's great, actress carries herself? She's in her mid 70s and she's trying to do something far more challenging than Jane Fonda's woeful Netflix sitcom. I say she deserves our support. |

| May I respectfully submit a request? Could you please resist lashing out at me in ways you could not possibly support? Here is what I know. 1. She is a great actress. (I can't imagine anyone disagreeing, although that does not mean I can't think she is bad casting for this.) 2. I am not overheated. (In fact, it's pretty damn cold here.) 3. I am not misogynistic. (No one who knows me would ever say that.) 4. I can be snarky. Guilty as charged. 5. I never suggested she "walked off" of anything. 6. My point, and sorry if you misapprehended it, is that this production (seemingly spearheaded by males (see #3)) is not terribly likely to get its act together so it can have a first paid public performance. There are many reasons for that. | |

| I concur that Jane Fonda's Netflix sitcom is woeful. I caught a couple of episodes at the tail end of its most recent season, and dare I say the show might have improved over time...but overall it's dreck. | |
