"Clue" was such an awesome movie. If it weren't for the brilliant Madeline Kahn and her "Flames...flames at the side of my face, breathing...heaving breaths..." I wouldn't have had the appropriate words to describe my feelings about so, so many of my interactions over the years.

Wasn't Madeline Kahn just the best? She made every role her own. Her Trixie Delight in "Paper Moon" swept everyone else off the screen including Tatum O'Neil. She's definitely one of my favorite actresses. It's such a shame that she died so young. What an incredible loss of talent.
Yep, this is off-topic.

OK, also off-topic but Madeline Kahn was sooo hilarious. I miss her . . .

Ha! Or "Cribbage"with the skunk line personified.
Totally agree. I enjoy its plotless existence if it's on, but completely forget about it when it's not.

I sang that once for a boyfriend the first time we discovered the sweet mystery of life together! It's hard to make the beast with two backs when you're laughing until you're nearly sick!
Madeline Kahn lines work for almost any occasion!

And when she and Gilda Radner were on SNL playing Baba Wawa and Marlene Dietrich:
Marlene Dietrich: I only eat healthy foods. I get massaged weguwally, and.. I've had evewything wifted. Barbara Walters: [ incredulous ] You mean you've had your wegs wifted?! Marlene Dietrich: Evewything, even my weah. Barbara Walters: Your what? Marlene Dietrich: My weah. Barbara Walters: Your wear? Marlene Dietrich: What? Barbara Walters: Dwop it.

Best Madeleine Kahn moment ever--SNL's first season, when Lorne went all out and recreated the coming-to-life scene from "Bride of Frankenstein", complete with special effects and very dramatic acting and music. As Madeleine (as the Bride, with her Young Frankenstein wig) was cranked from horizontal to vertical, the dramatic music crescendoed--and then stopped. Suddenly Paul Shaffer (as Igor) began to play "I Feel Pretty" from West Side Story, Madeleine began to sing, and the whole thing turned into a musical comedy number. The image of Madeleine's light opera voice coming out of the Bride's jerky, clumsy body was the funniest thing I'd ever seen.
So, Hollywood--I suspect Kristin Chenoweth could probably (at least partially) fill the void left by MK if you'd give her a chance. You know, like not cancelling the show that won her an Emmy. Get on that, will you?

Dear Hollywood,
Please do not make the women who slept with Tiger Woods reality stars. Let their 15 mins of infamy fade away by 2010.
