Christine Ebersole and Mary Louise Wilson surpass imitation. What I can manage to do of Little Edie is an imitation. What Christine Ebersole and Mary Louise Wilson do is eerie to watch. They both become these women, or two women in the case of Christine Ebersole. As far as I'm concerned, that's good acting. To completely become someone else. Maybe you have a film of them to watch and maybe you create them yourself, but that inhabitation of another body is why they won the Tony.
Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.
