In "Der Tag", when Margaret returns from a conference in Tokyo she raved - in front of Ferret Face - about another man she met there. That was probably a sign of her future raving about Donald Penobscot after her engagement to him.<br /><br />This may also be a reason why the Muppets' Miss Piggy is widely believed to be modeled on Margaret.marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242198036084484844.post-89268236975380213022013-08-06T04:02:15.086-04:002013-08-06T04:02:15.086-04:00Loretta Swit totally sells the phone-call-to-Louis...Loretta Swit totally sells the phone-call-to-Louise subplot, with her marvelous reactions while eavesdropping on Frank. Frankly, it could have been ugly to hear him denigrate her so, as an "Army mule, with bosoms," except for the way her face contorts with honest rage.<br /><br />I think of Jane Curtin on "Saturday Night Live," doing Weekend Update while Rosanne Rosannadanna talks about sweatballs or something. That kind of fury. It's almost over the top that well, but Swit sells it so well you just laugh and go with it.Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242198036084484844.post-6147995101915453112009-06-14T09:24:43.024-04:002009-06-14T09:24:43.024-04:00Russell-
