Mabel suited her just about as much as Harlow, whom she was forced to more or less impersonate in her first half-dozen pictures.<br /><br />Do you suppose there's ever been an Alice Faye impersonator? That could be a fun act, even if about six people in the world would get it...Muscatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657061324487851341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218985326921858943.post-15163515554492080572012-11-27T09:02:12.805-05:002012-11-27T09:02:12.805-05:00This was in "Hollywood Cavalcade" (with ...This was in "Hollywood Cavalcade" (with Don Ameche -- who else? -- as Mack Sennett).Peter Lappinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109154527996679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218985326921858943.post-40136868231030352012-11-27T00:33:27.175-05:002012-11-27T00:33:27.175-05:00You're quite right, Jon - no one does the grea...You're quite right, Jon - no one does the great ladies like the boys: Pierce as Davis (and Bankhead, and West, and...), Jim Bailey as Garland, Randy Roberts as Cher, Jimmy James as Marilyn (back in the day, a stunning performance).<br /><br />In the meantime, I have remembered one quite respectable portrayal of a star by a performer of the same gender: Judy Davis as Garland in <i>Me and My Shadows</i> - a fine impersonation in the context of extraordinarily good acting. That's a rare combo - just ask Miss Dunaway.Muscatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657061324487851341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218985326921858943.post-69404317953358656072012-11-26T22:42:24.369-05:002012-11-26T22:42:24.369-05:00Just...thank you.Just...thank you.Philip Mershonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641146738422887485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218985326921858943.post-34087768704964169662012-11-26T21:57:47.489-05:002012-11-26T21:57:47.489-05:00No-one could do Bette (apart from Bette) better th...No-one could do Bette (apart from Bette) better than Charles Pierce...
