Addison DeWitt

Uh, and I could, I could quote so many quotes.

Marilyn Monroe comes up to her and asks for honey for her daiquiri, and she looks, Bette Davis looks at her, 'cause she's jealous of her 'cause she's so beautiful, and she says, "We're all little bees full of sting making honey, aren't we, honey?" Uh, and then she turns to the theater critic-

Good line

... and then she turns to the theater critic, Addison DeWitt, who looks at her and says, "You're maudlin and full of self-pity.

So that could have easily been a win for them in the supporting actress category.

You know, I'll take our boy George Sanders winning for DeWitt, because Addison DeWitt was pretty fun, but it's just so poetic.

Yeah, I have not seen another movie from Judy Holliday, so I can't really attest to how she is in other films, unfortunately, but I am calmed down now.

I want to apologize to Judy Holliday.

This is the first time that I watched this.

So I didn't know that what the story was really about and and how it kind of turns on its heels.

So to open it this way and to show Eve and to show who, you know, everyone kind of like celebrating her and praising her and the narration from Addison DeWitt, I think just like really adds to that whole, you know, framing of who she is and how she's the central figure and she's.

you know she's everything she's eve she's winning an award here the award right and you're like wow this is incredible and then you just get that one little look at betty davis as margo channing before it cuts to black and you're like wait there's there's so there's something here we're in for a treat and boom we're like thrust into the story and And this is what this film is about, really.

She's got a very small part.

Addison DeWitt, I think, introduces her as somebody from the Copacabana School of Acting.

And she plays maybe a new version of actress coming in.

Do you know what I mean? As opposed to the Margot Channing, which is very definitely you throw your mink around your shoulders, you walk on stage.
