My "Friend" the "Actress"

Is she gay?

---

I’d ask her about it.

Just call her or email her and ask her flat out, “I have had several people tell me this story about how you call me your stalker? Why would you even do that?”

Then tell her you would rather stalk someone with talent and then let it go.

---

TD90016, that's too nice. I'd go along the lines with something like, "my time is much too valuable to stalk the likes of a no good, two bit, talent-free actress such as yourself."

Are her initials T. S.?

---

No, the initials of the no-talent diva-wannabe with the hopeless career in question are not T.S. And they're not "SDA" either, although "Self-Deluded-A--hole" would be a very appropriate name, if not title, for her! If I'd known about this back when she started saying it about me, honestly, I'd have filed a lawsuit.

Good idea. I'll edit that.

Oh Joe, wouldn't Belle be "remarkable" in Grey Gardens?

---

Sounds like you should have written off this so-called "actress-friend" years ago.

Belle would indeed give quite a "Performance" in Grey Gardens.

Isn't it about time TCM had a Letch Feeley Film "Festival"?

TheatreDiva, I just might say she's got the clap and more! If I may ask, where did you get your picture taken with Patti LuPone? It's wonderful! And talk about actresses, Patti LuPone is one of the very best in the business. I saw "Gypsy" four times at City Center and hope it returns to Broadway for a nice extended run. Patti LuPone's the class act of all time...unlike a certain OTHER "actress."

A passive-aggressive response is often looked down upon. But in this case I'd use one.

Stop seeing her shows - don't confront her, don't create more drama. Simply stop going.

If you confront her. She can turn and say that you are the obsessed fan spurned and have gone crazy.

If you stop supporting her, the jokes stop and perhaps - and I stress "perhaps" - she will see that your support was genuine.

Finally, I'd ask myself. What is it about me that attracts and keeps such "friends."

Just my two-cents

Very interesting ideas from all of you - thanks. I do want to confront her, but Blonde, you're right, that might only make matters worse. The strangest part of all this is that she would always call me up and INVITE me to go to her shows. I wouldn't know about them otherwise. They're so far off-Broadway that nobody would find them unless they knew exactly where to look. Once she even called up and tried to comp me into one of them. Another time I was sick and couldn't make one of them and there the Diva was on my phone, saying she was all concerned about me because I didn't show up. So I truly don't get what she's been up to here. She's inviting me, she's trying to comp me in, she's upset if I don't show up, and then behind my back all that time she's saying I'm an "obsessed fan"?

Well, I don't need certifiable friends, that's for sure. And that's what this woman is, if this is what she's doing to me, and probably to several other people as well. As my grandad used to say, she's missing a few lock washers. And she may not realize it yet but that witch just lost the closest thing to a real friend that she ever might have had!

TheatreDiva, that is AWESOME that you worked on The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagony! I wish I could have seen it. I bet the costumes were AWESOME!
