But WILLIAMS gets his best material from Vilanch.
So does Billy Crystal.

If you really want to help the American theater, don't be an actress, dahling. Be an audience.....
Don't be taken in by the guff that critics are killing the theater. Commonly they sin on the side of enthusiasm. Too often they give their blessing to trash...

Posted: 6/9/05 at 2:02pmCorine2 mentioned that drag queens are funny. My fellow Savannahians can back-up this statement: The Lady Chablis is hysterical.

Posted: 6/9/05 at 2:35pmLithgow was hilarious on 3rd rock.
Norbert Leo Butz quotes about John Lithgow: "He's really clumsy. One of the joys in life is to watch a great big huge man totally wipe out backstage. It takes John about three minutes to hit the floor. It's like watching a Great Sequoia falling gracelessly."

I'm not a gay stereotype. I'm a coincidence.
