Using the terms “rail thin” and “skinny” are not the compliments people seem to think they are. Most men that receive this moniker work hard to not be “skinny.” There are lots of body image issues in the actor community around being seen as skinny and not “fit” or “strong.” Maybe let’s just stop commenting on people’s bodies.

I’ve seen it twice, and the “strange ending” has been cut. It’s now the traditional ending with the children of River City attempting to play together as a band for the first time.

She would be incredible as Mame! She would dance the heck out of it, sound amazing on that beautiful Jerry Herman score, look stunning, land all the humor...I'm ready for it now!
Who could play Vera to her Mame? Alison Janney? Bebe Neuwirth?

Jane Krakowski on CBS Sunday Morning

After watching this, it struck me that Ms. Krakowski would make a wonderful Mame. She's the right age. She's a true comedian. She would dance the heck out of "That's How Young I Feel." And has a great voice to boot!
