Nellie McKay's unique speaking voice...

...reminded me of someone during the entire show. Drove me nuts. Finally, yesterday it hit me. Joan Fontaine in REBECCA and THE WOMEN. And I'll be damned if she doesn't look like her, and screw up her mouth like Miss Joan. Anyone get that? Have I missed the "LOVE CHILD OF JOAN FONTAINE" thread?

It reminded me of Shelly Duvall in Popeye.

Wait, sorry, what were you talking about again?

Auggie I can totally see that... good call..

I actually rather enjoyed hearing her speak...though I was completely nonplussed by her singing (though I'm apparently the only one...)

Someone else told me she sounds exactly like Priscilla Lane, the young bride in the film of ARSENIC AND OLD LACE. Anyone familiar with her? It's shockingly on the money.

That's it, Shelly Duvall! There was someone McKay keeps reminding me of, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
