Watching the repeat of last night’s Daily Show. I don’t remember Kathleen Turner being a near-dead-on soundalike of Tallulah. The accent isn’t quite there but other than that it’s eerie. When did that happen? She’s even got the laugh.
Along the same lines, what the hell happened to Brooke Shields’ nose? I saw her on Oprah at the gym and her nose looked sharp enough to slice paper.
Brooke Shields was on Oprah at the gym? Man, you go to a messed-up gym.
You do know that Turner played Bankhead in a one-woman play, right? This repeat may have been during her New York run, where she may have been (consciously or no) speaking in many of the same affectations.
I did not know that KT played TB. The Daily Show repeat was from yesterday, and KT is currently playing Martha in the revival of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?.
I call twee on Miller. While I was at the gym one day last week, The Oprah Winfrey Show was on one of the televisions. Brooke Shields was her guest. Brooke’s nose looked like a Nagel painting. Better?
I thought it was funny when Jon asked her if she was a smoker. I thought to myself “Duh! Listen to that voice!”
I bet she stinks. 
Anthoer twee. Great, yet another Dope thing I don’t get.
Anyway, Kathleen has always had a deep husky voice, it just seems to have gotten a bit huskier as she’s aged.
As I recall, the play in question closed on the road, and did not have a New York run.
As soon as I heard her, Tallulah Bankhead! popped into my head.
It would have been funny - mean, but funny - for Stewart to do the interview in a falsetto.
I don’t think anyone who’s using it in that thread really gets what “twee” means. (Unless they’re all doing it on purpose for the sake of silliness.) It really means Donovan-like.
Here is an older funnier Thread dealling with the term “twee”.
Ah. I actually saw it in SF so assumed it had hit the Great White Way at some point.
