Who's your favorite maid/housekeeper/cleaning woman character in Stage/Screen/TV history?

My vote goes to the sinister Mrs. Danvers in Rebecca:

"Why don't you go? Why don't you leave Manderley? He doesn't need you... he's got his memories. He doesn't love you, he wants to be alone again with her. You've nothing to stay for. You've nothing to live for really, have you?"


What's yours?


"I say YOU'RE the CUTEST one. No, I say YOU'RE the CUTEST One. And we go on like that from dawn to three."

Hazel - because Shirley Booth made something out of nothing.

Mrs. Livingston, from The Courtship of Eddies' Father. Just because.


"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." Conan O'Brien

This is a toughie! It's a tie between Agador in The Birdcage and Nell Harper on Gimme a Break.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Marjorie Maine in "Meet Me In Saint Louis"! But, of course she was wonderful no matter what sort of domestic she played!

She has so many wonderful moments-- The Ketchup making scene, the Corned beef slicing scene, the kicking the cat down the stairs scene, but I think I like her speech about the puny ovens in New York Tenement kitchens the best!

Honorable mention would have to be "Annie" in "It's a Wonderful Life" who says "About time one of you lunkheads SAID it" and "Boys and girls and music-- why do they need Gin?" and of course the crowd pleaser "I been saving up for a divorce if'n I ever get a husband!"

Anyone in Gosford Park. Clive Owen doesn't technically count because he was a valet not a (male) maid. Otherwise my vote would go to him. Hot stuff....

Definitely Shelley Morrison. And just the part in general of the maid (forget her name) in God's Favorite. Anyone sour about their position as a maid is pretty funny.

Thelma Ritter in PILLOW TALK and ALL ABOUT EVE (in everything).

Mary Wickes as Nurse Dora Pickford in NOW VOYAGER. (I know she is technically a Nurse but as Bette Davis tells her - "Dora, I suspect you're a treasure!")
