I think I must join the crowd, but the movies I know aren't the latest. I belong to the past, I guess where women were ladylike and men were--what were they?
A CHRISTMAS CAROL
The one with Alystair Sims. The part I would want is his housekeeper. I guess that's what she was. I loved the way she talked and laughed.
GONE WITH THE WIND
Any of these roles would be great. Aunt Pitypat, Melanie, Butterfly or whatever the slave girl's name was, and the black Mammy. Even Scarlet, I guess.
MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING
Any one of the aunts or sisters of the bride. (She did have sisters, didn't she or sisters-in-law?
Or the mother of the bride would be better.
I could go back farther, but it would leave you wondering what I was talking about. One of the movies that scared me the most was back during the silent films. Someone local playing the organ set the mood of what was happening on the screen. Good old days? Not a chance!

Melanie was a big sugar mouth, to sweet and kind. Why would you want to be her?
I mentioned Melanie because she was nice, but I really would rather have the part of the Mammy. "T'aint fitten." I liked that phrase.
