Andrea Martin- Young Frankenstein?

My guess is that they are still auditioning and/or negotiating with her.

Do a search before posting

Gosh, Rupert,

Thanks for your post!

I didn't realize I had called someone an idiot.

Wait, I didn't. That's right.




And I WAS think about spelling. That's all correct. I think the word you are looking for is 'puncuation'.........
Relax.

I didn't say that you directly called the poster an idiot, it's just that you came into this post and IMPLIED that the poster was ignorant for not reading an article which didn't asnwer their question in the first place. The only reason that I'm amazed with posts like yours is how everyone on this board is just ripe for yelling at people for not searching, that they are too blind to see that they have no reason to correct them. I'm not angry or rilled up that I need to relax, just annoyed.

I think the reason they're not going to give it to Cloris Leachman, is that they're afraid she's going to walk onstage one night and keel over. She is 81.

"Brooks said (in bad taste) that he didn't want Leachman "dying onstage." "

You know, I wanted to hold my tongue on sticking up for Mel Brooks, but I've had it with you people. Mel Brooks does NOT have a huge ego; he is just enthusiastic, optimistic, and takes PRIDE in his work!

"Bad taste." So are we gonna nitpickingly anylyze every syllable that comes out of Mel's mouth? I listened to that interview with Mel, and let me tell you the quote (not exactly word for word, but the message gets across):

"Cloris would have a lot of dancing and movement to do, and I think she's 80 or 81, so I didn't want to be responsible [[laughingly]] for killing her. Of course, I know she would love to die onstage than anywhere else."

Mel has concern for his friend Cloris, and saying it in a humorous way is just his sense of humor. And he would never say anything about Cloris behind her back if it would offend her. They have known each other for over 30 years, and I think they have an understanding of each other's sense of humor.

Oh, and could you all stop overreacting to Mel's early announcement of the Hilton Theatre? So he gave us an answer three weeks too early, cut the guy some slack. You people need to have more damn tolerance.

"Oh, and could you all stop overreacting to Mel's early announcement of the Hilton Theatre? So he gave us an answer three weeks too early, cut the guy some slack. You people need to have more damn tolerance."

That's my feelings exactly, thank you heil myself!

You also should understand Mel's taste in humor is very different. It's best summed up by a line from the 2000 Year Old Man, "To me tragedy is if I cut my finger. That's tragedy...and to me Comedy is if you walk into an open sewer and die, what do I care."
