Darlings, We Love Kate Winselt, But..............



How dare she, I am telling you, girls, how dare she, steal the limelight from Joan Crawford?????? Last night, Kate won as Emmy as Best Dramatic Actress In A Series, for her portrayal of the title role in the redo of "Mildred Pierce." For some of us on here, including the Raving Queen, this is completely unacceptable. To so many of my girls, Joan Crawford, who won an Oscar for it, has owned this role since 1945, and as far as I am concerned, always will! You damn well better believe they did not give Evan Rachel Wood the award; she had no right playing Veda, anyway, because that role is owned by Ann Blyth. And that is Ann Blyth, darlings, NOT Blythe Danner!!!!!! Much as I would like a chance at playing Veda, I would have turned the role down, had it been offered. Which was why it wasn't; the producers knew I would not dare take on Ann Blyth's signature role.

If Joan were here, she would be having a fit, while Bette Davis would be doing her maniacal 'Baby Jane' laugh!!!!!!!!! But both of Joan's nasty "screen daughters,' Ann Blyth and Diane Baker (from "Strait-Jacket") are still alive, and if I were Kate, I would be fearful they would come after me!!!!!!!!! I wouldn't blame them!!!!!!!!!!

I was so happy when Kate won the Oscar for "The Reader." She is a fine actress, and it was about time!!!!!!! But THIS????????? How dare she???????? I am ordering every one of my girls to go home tonight and watch the REAL "Mildred Pierce!" Accept no imitations, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am telling you, I am so overcome, I may have to take to my bed!!!!!!!!!!
But not before I watch "Mildred Pierce!!!!!!!"

Let's hear it for Joan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. Have you heard that Christina Crawford is touring in a one woman show called "Surviving Mommie Dearest"? In it she shows 8mm "blue" movies of Joan from the 1920's, in which Joan is dancing completely nude. Now I don't know about you, But I'm scared of Joan with her clothes ON!

  2. Agreed. Though even scarier might be a nude Bette Davis!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Funny you should say that. I was just speaking to a friend in Florida who just met a mortician who used to live in L.A. He prepared Bette's body. Not a pretty sight I'm sure!
