Catherine Martin

And yes, fun fact, horrifying fact about the basement.

The basement and the underground workshop dungeon in which Catherine Martin, the character, was kidnapped.

She was like a senator's...

By the way, the senator looks like Nancy Pelosi in the movie, and we didn't even know who Nancy Pelosi was in 1991, although she was probably in her 50s.

Here's the house.

This is the news story.

Brooke Smith plays Catherine Martin.

She'll show up at the house.

Right.

If you don't mind, I wouldn't mind asking your thoughts on the character of Catherine Martin.

Kept at the bottom of the pit by Buffalo Bill, and the oh-so-often-quoted line, it puts the lotion in the basket.

Put the fucking lotion in the basket! Oh,

And I said, good, now that I have your attention.

And then we just continued from there.

I do have a quotation from Jonathan Demme from the DVD commentary about Catherine Martin.

He says, of all the scenes to film, the scene of Catherine on the bottom of the pit begging this guy for permission to go home was the hottest one to do.

You're good.

But oh, my God, I mean, Catherine Martin, for God-

Yes

...

We're really thrilled and honored to make this announcement.

Brooke Smith, the amazing actress who plays Catherine Martin in The Silence of the Lambs, Bill's captured victim in the well.

She is coming back to Buffalo Bill's house for a super limited engagement celebrating the 35th anniversary release of the film.

2026 is the 35th year.
