Sorry, Freeman. I disremembered the "Don't Diss the Dress"
directive.Whack me with a wet one sheet and call me Wallace Beery behind
my back. I so deserve it.
Actually, Dressler is one of my heroes. She was a big, homely woman with
an outrageous wit, as evidenced by your wonderful quotes. She had her
first film role at the ripe age of 42 (in 1910) and went on to become
the #1 box office draw of her time. Way cool. (Hey, now SHE could have
played Linda Lovelace and probably pulled it off.)
I hereby swear not to mess with the Dress in the future, FF. You have my
word.

Hey, hey hey, this is a "no disrespect to Marie Dressler"
zone........read the rules! She would have NEVER been at a sexual
free-for-all (unless there was a gin fountain and a free buffet)
*/Some of her better quotes:/*
*//*
You're only as good as your last picture.
If ants are such busy workers, how come they find time to go to all
the picnics?
Old age is an insult. It's like being smacked.
I'm too homely for a prima donna and too ugly for a soubrette.
*/And of course these four from DINNER AT EIGHT/*
"If there's one thing I know, it's men. I ought to. It's been my
life's work."
"That's the unfortunate thing about death. It's so terribly final.
Even the young can't do anything about it."
" And then I had a restful, nice luncheon... with 4 lawyers. On the
88th floor of the Watson's building. You know, the sky club. A cloud
floated right into my soup plate"
"My dear that is something you need never worry about" to Jean Harlow
after she commented on reading a book that in the future robots take
the place of all professions.

"What *you* did was dishonorable. Shame on you."
The last time an Ebayer used the term "shame on you" to me, it was
because I forgot to add a 1/2" tear to the description of a 15.00
poster. It was something like, "You described this poster as Fine. It
should have been Very good. at best. You omitted a 1" tear that I
found!
Shame, shame on you!"
WAHHH!
Give me a break.
"Shame" is something I reserve for stuff like the wild orgy I had in
1973 with Ernest Borgnine & Marie Dressler. My shame was
compounded even
more by the fact that Ms. Dressler had been dead for 39 years, and
I'll
tell ya, the guilt still eats me alive. THOSE were some shameful
shenanigans.
I'm going to go make my wife end one of my auctions early now.
It's that
kind of raw, sinful excitement that keeps the sexual flame burning
in my
marriage.
