Requiem for an Actress
The New York Times this evening on the late Rita Gam:
"After generally being typecast in supporting roles
in two dozen films for what Life described as
'her sultry face and insinuating voice,' she recalled
in 1992, 'I looked into the black pit at 40 and
wondered, what do I do for an encore?' "
See also Sidney Lumet in this journal as well as
"Some cartoon graveyards are better than others."

REDEMPTION
"I need a photo-opportunity,
I want a shot at redemption.
Don't want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard."
