Poor Nancy Walker
During the entire picture, Nancy Walker gets insulted and ridiculed for being unattractive. Over and over and over. While it is certainly a role that she played willingly, it must be kind of degrading to be treated that way.

shareYes - but such self-deprecating paved the way for a long career.
Virginia Weidler, on the other hand, not conventionally, Hollywood "pretty" but more along the lines of a "character actress" like Nancy, found herself at a dead end with this picture
"Don't call me 'honey', mac."
"Don't call me 'mac'... HONEY!"
Very strange that they tried to glamorize Virginia. She could have easily made a career out of playing comic characters.
