I dunno...I still might try that on a bad night.
Imagine being that sort of bitter, nasty thing inside and out. It has to be harsh for someone who started out as a marginally attractive, negligibly talented actress wannabee to know that they're never going to make it any other way than to be a disagreeable harpy.
We'd all be bitter if we had to spew ever-increasing amounts of verbal garbage, in a vain attempt to have any meaning in our lives.
Just imagine how hard it would be to go all those years thinking that people wanted to hear you 'cause you were smart, only to find out it was because you were kinda/sorta cute in that awkward, nerd-girl way.
And then the cute faded, you're on the wrong side of 40, and you discover that your "talent" never really existed.
Just think of how hard we'd have to struggle for relevance, meaning, and a little bit of publicity if any of us looked like we'd been rode hard and put away wet and no one wants to listen to our broken down, dim-witted ravings anymore.
Bless her little heart.
who is holding that sign?!

the granddaughter of screen legends Melvyn Douglas and Helen Gahagan (defeated by Richard M. Nixon in a bitter 1950 Senate race in California. Nixon hinted that she was a fellow traveler, citing as evidence her supposed Communist-leaning votes in Congress. He referred to her as “the Pink Lady”, and said that she was “pink right down to her underwear.” )
