I am not now, nor have I ever been Eve.
Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?
Wellll … just that wee bit over there … want some?
As to the OP, Sellers made me laugh. Have no real info to add about his assholiness, just wanted to make my position clear regarding the emerging Eve business before HUAC is reconvened.
That’s funny, you don’t look Jewish.

I’m not Eve. I may or may not, however, be the walrus.
Coo-coo-kachoo,
Kyth
And… now… presenting …
Eve!
[Sub]Umm…you’re not ? Well what’s wrong with her?.. [/sub]
Catalepsy?
Well… never mind.
Maybe his and Sellers’ assholery cancelled each other out.
I don’t think Sellers’ talent was itself exaggerated; however, it’s quite possible that much or even most of his work doesn’t put his talent to very good use.
Let me also add at this juncture that I am not Eve, but that I thoroughly agree that she was framed.
I am not Eve, but I do look shrewish.
While we’re throwing out catch phrases,
I burning your Eve!
And somebody please put out a Yellow Alert in NYC to find her.
My middle name is Eden, is that close enough?
Oh no, not another Shrewish American Princess. 
In the DVD intro to the Muppets show on which Sellers appeared, Brian Henson says that his dad talked to Sellers about how he (Henson) wanted him (Sellers) to relax and be himself. Henson claims that Sellers was apparently both horrified and terror-stricken; he claimed to be of no interest whatsoever and had no desire to be himself on screen.
This thread is the first exposure I’ve had to the idea that Sellers was actually a schmuck in real life. I had assumed from the above story that he was painfully shy. Which, of course, may also be true, and explain some of the schmuck-ness.
As for his brilliance, just watch *Being There * if you have any doubts whatsoever. I marvel at how incredibly difficult that role must have been to play, and how well Sellers played it. IMHO, he deserved the Oscar that year, rather than Hoffman for Kramer vs. Kramer.
Oh, and in case you were in any doubt, I’m unfortunately not **Eve ** either, although I *am * a New Jersey woman of an (ahem) certain age.
While I am not Eve, I do wonder what I’d do at this point in this thread if I were. Let’s face it, once she does turn up, the joke’s over. Would you post, or would you just let it run on?
I wonder if a similar thread is how Beckett got the idea for Godot.
This Summer, see Meredith Baxter, Rue McLanahan, Melissa Gilbert, Patty Duke, Genevieve Bujold, Lee Meriwether, the girl who was on *Facts of Life * but wasn’t Blair or Jo or Tootie, Joanna Kerns, Marla Gibbs, Barbara Eden, Phylicia Rashad, Hayley Mills and Hayley Mills in the Lifetime for Women world premier movie, Waiting for Eve.
Vladima (Rashad): Well, shall we go?
Estrogen (Gilbert): Yes, let’s go.
They do not move.
Meredith Baxter: My character has lupus this week!
There is a movie called Eve of Destruction
IANESMPG*
*I am not Eve, Spartacus, or a member of any public groups
You know, Eve knows a lot about the 1920’s, and she has a lot of style…
I wonder… After every SDMB member who is not Eve has posted here, will the Mods close the thread?
Yeah, I’ll have to join in too… 
I am not Eve either.
Unless she’s moved to Australia in the short term 
This is even funnier if you read it in Ralph Wiggum’s voice.
I am not Eve.
But I want to be.
Unless it means giving up flannel shirts and demolition derbies and cheese dip made with Velveeta and Budweiser.
I have breathed the same air as Eve. …But that’s as close as I can come.
HOWEVER! There are only so many magical words in the word and certainly one of them will make her appear.
Abracadabra!
Walla Walla Washington!
Open Sesame!
Appear EVE!
Anybody else suspect that she’s leaning back in her desk chair, reading this thread and laughing at all of us?
